Sheriff Mark Lamb, welcome to the show. Thank you.
It's an honor to be on. It's an honor to have you. I love what you do. I love all the people you talk to. I love the different expertise and knowledges they bring, so this is truly an honor to be on your show today.
Well, thank you for saying that. You know, I've been following you for several years now, and I've been wanting to talk to you, but I've been waiting for the right time, and... Reaching out to people always get a little, it takes me a minute. And then we just hired this guy that's in your district who's running our social media, JD. JD, or as we call him, Nightclaw. What did you call him?
Nightclaw. Nightclaw, nice, nice. He's never going to live that one down now. But yeah, so JD connected us, and here we are, man. And I love your message. I love what you're doing. You keep it positive. You speak truth. You speak common sense, which is a rarity now. And we've got a lot to cover, man. I'm looking forward to it. So what I want to do is cover...
some of your life story, and then go into a lot of the stuff that's going on in the world, like why are all these criminals being released back onto the streets? You know, your run for Senate, how's that going? The border, we've got a lot of stuff to dive into. But everybody gets an introduction first, so here we go.
Sheriff Mark Lamb, the American sheriff, you're a father of five, a grandfather of three, married for... Almost 30 years to your wife, Janelle. Grew up outside of the U.S. Not military. We'll get into that stuff. Worked as a police officer for six years before transitioning to the sheriff's department. Elected.
As the 24th sheriff of Pino County currently serving, you are currently running for the 2024 U.S. Senate seat in Arizona. Deeply religious with a strong faith, you established the American Sheriff Foundation. What is that?
So I started a charity my first year when I got into, right as I became sheriff, I knew I wanted to do something. So I started a charity called the American Sheriff Foundation, which our goal was to bridge the gap between communities and law enforcement, just through service. And it's been great. It's given me an opportunity to give back to the communities, to help people who are in need.
We do a lot with veterans, and so it's just another tool that gave me the ability to do things in my community without having to go through the bureaucracy of government to where I could actually make actionable change in people's lives right away. Oh, wow. That's awesome. You did that when? I did that in 2018. Wow. 2018. So I took office in 2017.
