The sheriff’s office is responsible for the enforcement of laws within the state constitution and U.S. Constitution.
The sheriff, elected by we the people, is the only head of a law enforcement agency In Snohomish County that is directly accountable to the residents and is a bulwark against authoritarian politicians who sanction defunding the police; opioids and other drugs flooding into our counties; assaults, robberies, homicides, shootings, burglaries and auto thefts; allowing criminals to walk with no bail; pursuit laws that hamstring law enforcement in their pursuit of known criminals.
For me, there is but one choice for Snohomish County sheriff and that’s Adam Fortney! A solidifying factor in my decision is the number of police guilds and associations that have endorsed Fortney. Collectively, they are far better-informed than we are.
But it’s not just about fighting crime. In 2021, Sheriff Fortney implemented a program for youth in Snohomish County, Sheriff’s LEAD The Way Program, with the objective of providing youth, who may well be heading down the wrong path, classes “rooted in life skills, decision making, accountability, and leadershi,” a skillset sorely lacking in many kids today.
