Well, it’s that time again. With early voting beginning today, I am asking for your vote for Sheriff in this general election. I appreciate all the support over the past 8 years and hope to continue working for the people of Dubuque County. While you’re there, a vote for Harley Pothoff and Kevin Dragotto would also be appreciated. They are both good men who care deeply about their community and have done an excellent job in their respective positions. Thanks in advance, and stay safe!

My daughter, Sydney, has been nominated for TH athlete of the week. She had 17 strikeouts last week over 6 1/3 innings in a double header at Dewitt, a team that was averaging over 0.400 batting average up until that point. She went 3x5 in both games with 7 rbis as well.
Here is the link if you feel inclined to vote for her.
You can vote up to 5 times a day for the next two days!
Thanks! You don't need to have a subscription to vote!

Now that it is official, I just want to take a few minutes to thank everyone who helped me along the way. Whether the help was physical, spiritual, emotional, or simply just voting for me, I really could not have done this without you. I vow to work every day to prove to the people of Dubuque County that I was the right choice for the job. I especially wish to thank my family for everything they did throughout this endeavor, without their support and understanding none of this would've been possible. I also want to thank Dave Riniker for agreeing to go down this path with me by becoming the new Chief Deputy for the Dubuque County Sheriff's Office. I am confident that we can work together to build on what our predecessors have provided for us. To all: have a safe and happy new year! Sheriff Joe Kennedy
