The Journal of the San Juan Islands endorses Rob Nou! (Read Editorial)

Thank you to all who supported my campaign thus far, by contributing money, by posting signs, writing letters and most importantly telling your friends, relatives and neighbors that you believe that I am the best choice to be your next Sheriff.

I truly appreciate all who stopped by my booth at the County Fair to get acquainted, ask questions and offer support as we move towards the general election in November. It was great to have the opportunity to hear the concerns in the different island communities that make up our unique and wonderful county.

I am looking forward to meeting with many more of you over the next two months, and offer my vision and goals for your San Juan County Sheriffs Office into the future. I am interested in your concerns and perspectives on how we can serve you better. Working together, we can overcome any challenges or problems that our communities must face.

As your next Sheriff, I bring 29 years of working law enforcement experience. I am currently a Deputy Sheriff on Lopez Island, where I have served since 2008.  I have been a small town Oregon police chief for over 4 years before I moved to the San Juans  I worked for an Oregon sheriffs office for over 22 years, 16 years as a sergeant. I have an extensive background in traffic safety, having led a major crash team for over 10 years, and developed and managed many traffic safety projects over the years that saved lives and reduced injuries.

As Sheriff, I believe it is vital that our organization develops close working partnerships with our schools to protect our youth. Alcohol and drug use and all of the associated risk taking behaviors are placing our communities and our childrens’ futures at risk. By working with the schools, the prevention coalitions and our public safety partners we will help reduce those risks.

I look forward to the opportunity to serve San Juan County as Sheriff. I think that my experience, my training and my credentials make me the best qualified candidate.

Thank you for your consideration, and I hope that I can count on your vote in the November General Election.
