Sheriff Mark Lamb

It's just, it's all about money and there's a lot of people that, and I don't know what the motive is because it doesn't feel like there's a motive, but they are, on their own little level, they are incentivized to continue to treat the symptoms of the problem as opposed to treating the actual problem.

That's why all of this is part of the reason why I decided to do it.

When I ran for sheriff, I'm not a politician.

I tell people,

I'm a patriot who loves God, family, freedom, and the Constitution.

That's why I do what I do.

I love the rule of law, and I'm willing to fight for it.

But as a law enforcement guy, you know, when the building's on fire, it's not in my nature to just stand there and watch it burn to the ground.

Or when you see a problem, you just stand there and wait for somebody else to deal with it.

What I saw in this country was a problem.

The building's on fire.

And really, it's...

the main issues no matter where I go in the country are border, the economy, crime, and national security.

Those are the preeminent issues no matter where I go, especially in the state.

And the number one and two are always border and economy.

And so,

When I was coming to the end of the last election cycle, I wasn't running.

I was making fun of everybody who was running a statewide race.

This is what you get for making fun of people.

Don't do it.
