I believe this great nation had brilliant forefathers who authored and constructed our form of government, which is intended for states to govern themselves. Our rights are “God-given,” and I will always vigorously defend our citizen’s rights.
I have great expectations for the employees of the Wagoner County Sheriff’s and expect for the employees to give great customer service to the people they serve.”
