Politics has no place in law and order. At least it shouldn't be a factor when an Oklahoma sheriff deputy makes an arrest.
An Oklahoma Senate bill being considered by the House could change the law enforcement landscape as we have known it. If the House passes SB 327, all sheriff races in Oklahoma's 77 counties would become non-partisan. No Republican candidates. No Democratic candidates.
I know my Republican buddies and Democrat foes will be screaming in opposition to this bill, but it take politics out of the Sheriff's office and that is a great thing.
We do not need Sheriffs and Deputies make traffic stops based on political party affiliation. We need a fair, object and letter of the law approach, which is best served by a non-partisan election.
So, I am calling on Marty Quinn, Chuck Hoskin, Ben Sherrer and David Derby to help pass SB 327 and make Oklahoma Sheriff's elections non-partisan.
It is the right thing to do!
