[QUOTE="Bighead, post: 2974392, member: 1464"] From my examination of the candidates, I am encouraging people to support Brett Macy (R) or Ed Grimes (I). They have impressive law enforcement careers, are well regarded by their peers, and have a reputation for honesty. If you are a Republican in Oklahoma County, I would encourage to vote Macy on next Tuesday, 4/4/2017, in order to help place a quality candidate on the general election ballot for this fall. In the fall, vote your conscience for Macy or Grimes (or whoever you decide to support). Mike Christian (Republican) is IMHO a politician looking for a job without term limit. A search of news reports about Christian will reveal multiple instances of low integrity, from lying during an internal investigation at the OHP, to his alleged involvement in the 2010 corruption scandal that sent Randy Terrill to state prison. PD Taylor (Republican) has a fine reputation from his years at the Oklahoma City Police, where he was the long time police union president. He came to work at the Sheriff's Office in 1997 after the election of John Whetsel. He was hired at the rank of captain, although he had never been a supervisor during his OCPD career. Taylor quickly rose to the #2 position of Under Sheriff, a rank he held these last 14 years. If you are happy with the operation of the Oklahoma County Sheriff's Office under Whetsel's tenure, then feel free to elect Taylor. If, like me, you feel the Sheriff's Office needs new direction, then there are other quality candidates that don't have the baggage of a 20-year career as John Whetsel's right hand man. Brett Macy is a retired police lieutenant with Oklahoma City, and started his career with the Oklahoma County Sheriff's Office. Macy has a reputation for honesty, for being his own man, and for standing up for what is right even when his bosses don't want to hear it (likely the reason his career progression stopped at lieutenant). Since retiring Macy has provided private services as a financial crimes investigator, and is a member of the State Board of Probation and Parole. Macy has suffered no allegations of impropriety or corruption. Ed Grimes (Independent) is a retired OKC police sergeant, and was later the Under Sheriff for Canadian County. Grimes is well respected by both former partners on the OCPD and former employees at the Canadian County SO. There have been no allegations of impropriety or corruption. For Democrat voters reading this, I can say that Mike Hanson has spent a career at the Oklahoma County SO, and is the superior choices on the Democrat primary balance. Once a Captain at the Sheriff's Office, Mike suffered a career setback several years ago, reportedly from speaking truth to power at the SO. [/QUOTE]
