Sheriff Mark Lamb

And so I was outspent, I was the underdog, I had to completely build name recognition, nobody knew who I was, and I had to do it all and it was just grinding it out, hard work.

I had to go to all these events, I had to speak in front of them, I had to just shake as many hands as I could, pass out flyers, I did everything.

And up until the day that we, the election, the other guys thought they were gonna beat me.

So this is his chief deputy running.

They thought they were gonna beat me.

I said, we're not losing.

We're gonna win 60-40.

And we won 63 to 37% that race.

Wow.

And over the last eight years, just really a lot in part because of the people I've surrounded myself with and the type of leadership I bring to the table, I think we've created something really special in Pinal County.

We have people from all over the country that know who we are.

As a matter of fact, for law enforcement, for Facebook followers across the country, the number one agency for Facebook followers is the FBI.

Number two is the Pinal County Sheriff's Office.

We passed up the NYPD.
