Joe Hamilton is Logical Choice for Next Sheriff

 

We've had a few readers ask if Joe Hamilton is actually more qualified than Randall McCrary. The answer is a resounding yes. 

If there is any criticism of Hamilton, it seems to be that he's Rick Singleton's hands down pick. Some feel that Rick's policies were little improvement over his bumbling predecessor's. Certainly there have been problems, but these were either the result of insufficient funding or a situation that no one could have anticipated.

We live, we learn, we build on our mistakes. Joe is not going to keep the department in the past. He will build on the good that Rick has done and learn from any mistakes the current sheriff may have made.

Is Joe Hamilton perfect? No. He is honest, well-respected, a loving husband, and thoroughly versed in today's law enforcement problems and procedures. We don't need a disgruntled wannabe reality star or a Barney Fife. 

What Lauderdale County needs is Joe Hamilton!

Singleton Offers Endorsement in Sheriff's Race

 

No matter what happens on May 24th, there'll be a new sheriff in town in Lauderdale County. While initial polls indicate it's a tight race between Joe Hamilton (pictured) and John Randall McCrary, this may change in the next three months.

Now Sheriff Rick Singleton has endorsed Joe Hamilton for the office. It's been reported in several news outlets that there has been tension between Singleton and McCrary in the past.

Both candidates are well liked, have traditional families, and (as far as we can ascertain) no discipline problems or arrests. In short, either would seem to be good choices. We invite reader opinions on the two candidates. Our endorsement will come much later in the game.
