As the Primary Election nears on May 4th, candidates start circulating brochures, pamphlets and campaign cards. Many of you have read the back of Sheriff Esco Jarnagin's campaign cards. His qualifications are listed there as well as to the right on this blog. Sheriff Jarnagin has 38 years of APPLIED law enforcement. He started out on foot patrol with the Morristown Police Department working the downtown beat. Yes folks, I said foot patrol, as in, no car! Sheriff Jarnagin worked his way from the bottom up. I strongly encourage everyone to read the Sheriff's qualifications. Not only has Sheriff Jarnagin promised integrity, honesty, and professionalism in the Hamblen County Sheriff's Office, he has delivered. He has saved the taxpayers $100,000 alone just by persuading the state of TN to to increase payment for housing state prisoners. When Sheriff Jarnagin took office the Hamblen County Jail had previously lost its certification. Sheriff Jarnagin and his administration worked hard to see that the jail was re-certified, thus preventing the building of a new facility funded by the taxpayers. There are countless other things that Sheriff Jarnagin has accomplished in the past four years that I could list (and I will in future posts!). Vote for the MOST QUALIFIED candidate to continue to provide the citizens of Hamblen County with excellent public service and safety! VOTE TO RE-ELECT SHERIFF JARNAGIN!
