Sheriff Mark Lamb

It was probably one of the most important things.

I'm concerned about really three main races in this cycle.

I'm concerned about who wins the sheriff.

And they go in this order, by the way.

I want to make sure that my friend Ross Teeple, who we handpicked to run for sheriff, when his name came out, it was immediate.

I knew immediately that was the right person.

And he has done an amazing job of fighting for it.

But I'm very concerned about him getting in.

I want to make sure the county attorney that we have gets in because he's been amazing to work with.

And he gets the balance of the rule of law where you should be kind and where you need to be tough.

And then the third thing is,

My election.

I'm number three on the list because I think our lives are more affected by our local politicians than they are by federal politicians.

And so that's why I think getting a good sheriff and getting our county attorney, who's great, getting them reelected is what's really important for me.

You know, we asked ourselves that question a lot because when I got into being the sheriff, I thought this country was heading to a place where there would be pockets of freedom.

And what I tried to create and what I tried to foster was a pocket of freedom in Pinal County.

But we are in a good place.

And it's not necessarily that I want to stay there.

I would have liked to have stayed there.

But I probably would have only stayed there one more term anyway.
