Aug 24 – TRADE – Gary Black’s Senate campaign received an additional vote of confidence from law enforcement when 15 more Georgia sheriffs supported his candidacy. These 15 joined the 60 who had already supported Black.
Black’s latest campaign ad focuses on the endorsements. In it, Black says, “Reclaiming America means restoring the freedoms that enable our pursuit of happiness. It starts with restoring our police force, taking back our streets, neighborhoods, and yes, our shopping malls too.”
“Having Gary Black in the Senate to assist with law enforcement will help save lives,” said Banks County Sheriff Carlton Speed. “Gary may not be conspicuous, but he’s a hard worker, he’ll get the job done, and he’s in on Georgia’s best interests.”
Black recently spoke to the Georgia Sheriffs’ Association Summer Conference in Jekyll Island and told attendees, “I may not be carrying a gun or a badge, but it will be my job to make sure you can use both if necessary.”
The list of sheriffs who supported Gary Black’s campaign represents nearly half of the sheriffs in Georgia.
“These are the front lines dealing with the drug crisis and the crimes of illegal immigrants and criminals who feel empowered to make victims because of the anti-cop rhetoric from regressive politicians,” Black said. “I am proud to have your support and I will have your back as a Georgia Senator.”
The list of sheriffs who have assisted Black includes top law enforcement officers from Counties Bartow, Ben Hill, Calhoun, Carroll, Columbia, Dodge, Franklin, Gordon, Heard, Mitchell, Stephens, Telfair, Treutlen, Troup, and Walker.
