In the upcoming Douglas County elections, a woman is running
for Sheriff with the slogan, “Keeping both you and your tax dollar safe”. Good incentives to peak a voters confidence.
You might ask, “Why is Lora Thomas Running for Douglas
County Sheriff?” Here’s your answer in
her own words:
Four years ago when I began my race for Coroner, I was
continually asked, “Why are you running?” I was repeatedly told that the office
was well-run, that everybody who was anybody was supporting the guy already in
the race, and that this guy was the “next in line.” I persisted in running for Coroner because I
knew how waste, abuse, mismanagement and manipulation can become entrenched in
government offices. I won that election and we have improved services while
drastically shrinking the budget by 33%.
The exact same situation exists with the Sheriff's Office -
it's nature.
Citizens have benefitted when they replace “the entitled,
next in line candidate” with a better qualified candidate who has fresh, new
ideas. It happened in the Douglas County Coroner’s Office and Treasurer’s
Office with the 2010 elections. It happened with the 18th Judicial District
Election in 2012, and it’s time it happened in the Douglas County Sheriff’s
Office in the 2014 election!
Well said, Lora! If
you’d like to talk with Lora in person, please join her, along with other
delegates at the Castle Rock Events Center located at 500 Fairgrounds Road in
Castle Rock, on March 20th from 5:30 – 7:30 pm. For more information on Lora, please visit
her website at www.thomas2014.org.
Good luck to all the candidates!
