08/12/2026

I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to everyone who supported me throughout my campaign for Kewaunee County Sheriff. While the results weren't what we hoped for, I am incredibly glad I ran—I know I would have regretted not trying. I wish the absolute best of luck to Eric Zellner as he takes office next year. I look forward to working together and supporting our community moving forward.

As we approach the primary election for Sheriff,
I am deeply humbled by the incredible support I have received throughout this campaign. I have met so many wonderful people.

Stepping into the spotlight and talking about myself has never been my nature. This process has pushed me far out of my comfort zone. I want to acknowledge that we have a field of great candidates, each bringing their own unique strengths to the table.

However, looking at my diverse professional background, I truly feel I am the most well-rounded candidate for this office.

I would sincerely appreciate your vote during the primary. Thank you all again so very much.

As I Stated when I started this journey for Sheriff, I want to serve everyone regardless of their political view. I believe the office of Sheriff is meant to be nonpartisan in serving the community.

As you can see from my interview with the Republican Party, my answers reflect my ability to understand different perspectives.
