A safer county, by the numbers.
Lieutenant Colonel (Ret.), 28-year veteran of the Sheriff's Office, and the only candidate with a published 100-day plan.
Twenty-eight years of service. A plan that works.
Tom Briggs began his career as a deputy in 1997. He commanded the Major Crimes Bureau, led the formation of the regional drug task force, and retired as a Lt. Colonel in 2024 after a career that included three Medals of Valor and a Master's in Public Administration.
He's running for Sheriff because the office needs both experienced command leadership and a transparent, measurable plan.
