During the past four years, Sheriff Ron Krebs has proven himself to be an excellent leader, dedicated to his duties in San Juan County, friendly and easily contactable by those with questions or suggestions for our county’s top law-enforcement officer. He has gained near-unanimous endorsement for re-election by the Sheriff’s Guild, and is clearly the most qualified candidate to lead the islands’ deputies as they protect and interact with us in the years ahead. But the election is not over until all the votes are counted. Please cast your vote and confirm this highly qualified man as your sheriff for the next four years.

Voting is critical to maintaining our democracy and ensuring that only the most capable candidates gain office. By mail or in person, please cast your vote for Ron Krebs for sheriff in the Nov. 6 election.
