“The Salem Rotary Club chose me in 2003 to go to the Philippines and represent the City of Salem. I represented Salem well then and if given an opportunity to be the next Salem Sheriff, I will also do so in that capacity.” – Richard Goodman

“I was born and raised here in Salem. Having the opportunity to get in the school system and work with kids is something that I’m really passionate about. I want to be the next Salem Sheriff because I feel I have what it takes to get the job done.” – Jacob Carroll

“I’ve been thinking about running for Sheriff ever since I was working in the Salem Police Department, which was about six years ago. Being Sheriff isn’t about one or two people. It’s truly a team effort. I want to earn your vote come November.” – Tim Sutphin

“This year’s race comes down to one thing and that’s leadership. Who can lead the Sheriff’s Office for the next four years? I’ve trained, mentored and supervised Marines and law enforcement officers. I am more qualified than any of my opponents.” – Flint Wright

“I have 16 years of law enforcement experience. I started off as a deputy sheriff and from there I went on to become a patrol officer. From there, I became a detective. From there, I was promoted to sergeant. When I set my mind to doing something, I’m not going to stop.”

“This career wasn’t something that I had my mind on as a child growing up. Once I began in 2003 as a regular deputy, I fell in love with this job. It has been my passion to grow both professionally and personally in this office. Hopefully I can continue to do that as the next Salem Sheriff.” – April Staton
