Please run and good luck.

Great go for it.

I don’t think the sheriff of my SW VA county is ..all that religious. If there’s any good to come from the horrid national political scene, it may be that a lot of Americans will begin looking past the mantle of religion for honesty and competence. Keep us posted.

Good luck mate, I hope you do your job well if voted in. It sounds like the area is behind you, so you must be a good and fair person

It's heartening to see that not all people in your small town are small minded ots but the question you need to answer for yourself before proceeding is, 'Are there enough decent people who will actually get out and vote for you in order for you to win?'. I've considered running for public office and one of the things I weigh in my mind beforehand is whether or not it the good I can do is worth the price of having my name dragged through the mud by the knuckle draggers of the town I live in. It goes with the territory when you enter public life.

Super!

Go for it. It means you have shown them that a decent person doesn't have to be religious.

Go for it, you have my support !

I don't know what kind of qualification one needs to be a sheriff. Do you have those? From movies it seems like there are none, but I do not know.

Well why would people want a religious sheriff? just interested as I am in Australia.
