Jim Hammond, Republican Candidate For Hamilton County Sheriff Begins Campaign
The Republican candidate for Hamilton County Sheriff hit the campaign trail today.
Jim Hammond says he'll take the next 4 months to talk with the public about its expectations for the county's top law enforcement officer.
Hammond spent 17 years as chief deputy of the sheriff's department.
He says the department needs someone who can bring it together. "It is my job to help officers and personnel that work for me find value as a person and police officer. My job is to give them the necessary tools to give them the encouragement they need to do what they were sworn in to do as a police officer."
Hammond says he'll lay out the issues important for this election on April 14th.
He faces Democratic Hamilton County Commissioner Greg Beck and Independent Jim Winters on the August ballot to replace Billy Long.
Exactly What This County Needs
With the vast experience and moral fortitude that Jim Hammond brings to the table,he is exactly what this county needs to have their faith restored!
You might need an outsider
You might need an outsider to avoid the inevitable corruption...... I would not vote for anyone running. No one has stated what qualifies them to lead the Sheriff's Dept.
He's the worst possible
He's the worst possible choice.
Hip Hip Hooray. He should
Hip Hip Hooray. He should have been sheriff several years ago. A man with his experience is exactly what is needed in this town. He will be an excellent help to this area,

Jim Hammond For Sheriff
I have worked with Jim Hammond for a great many years as a police officer, he is with out a doubt the most qualified candidate to serve as our sheriff. Jim is a fine Christian gentleman who has traveled the world over training individuals to become police officers, who has a great compassion for the citizens of Hamilton County and a great desire to work with all law enforcement agency. I would like to highly recommend Jim Hammond for our next Sheriff.
