Pierce County Sheriff's Election

Pierce County Sheriff Election


I have had the experience of meeting one of the current candidate's for Pierce County Sheriff, and I must say It was refreshing to hear a person talk about the real activities of the Sheriff Dept that need changing ASAP. Candidate Oake C. Gregory came to my home to visit me, and speak about the needs of the Sheriff's Dept. He currently has been running a simple campaign without any outside monies. He is a resident of Plum City, and is 36 years of age. His beliefs are Constitutional, and he is very down to earth in his speaking. He explained to me how he has tried to get communications with fellow candidates, just be be ignored. He has sent several letters to Sheriff Hove that have never been answered. He even went to the extent to send these letters by certified mail, after having them notarized. Mr. Gregory told me of many cases where he has been a victim of crime, as well as the neglect he has seen by the Sheriff's Dept. He believes in hard work, helping people live better lives, and making our elected officials honor their oath to office. Gregory states some of his concerns for the County would include our natural resources, protecting our waterways from pollution. He also states he would donate 30% of his income as sheriff back to the county for a program to assist at risk teens, to help improve their lives and reduce future crime. "I want to make Pierce County the safest and best county to live in" claims Gregory. to learn more about Candidate for Sheriff Oake C. Gregory you can search for him on Facebook, or you can find his website at www.sheriffoake.com. You can also contact him by phone at (715) 307-0135. On his campaign flyers it reads, No matter who you vote for, VOTE and please get involved in the county and municipal process. Go to your county and municipal board meetings- make your voice heard and help to KEEP THEM HONEST.. One last notable comment on the flyer is, "Use a paper ballot so you know your vote is counted"

With my families personnal experience with the Pierce County Sheriffs Dept., I would recommend Mr. Gregory for the position to get change that is needed badly. The citizens equal treatment is a priority that seems to be lost, and I believe the current Sheriff has ignored this aspect long enough.

So on NOVEMBER 2nd, get out and vote, Your Vote does Count....
