18 GA Sheriffs Endorse Doug Collins for Senate

GAINESVILLE, GA – 18 Georgia Sheriffs today became the charter members of the “Law Enforcement for Doug Collins” leadership team. The team is being led by former GA Department of Public Safety Commissioner and State Patrol head Mark W. McDonough.

“Public safety professionals stand in the gap every day protecting their communities,” McDonough said. “There is no better example of this than your Sheriff.  They know what their communities need and the things that concern their citizens.  One of those concerns is strong, demonstrated leadership in Washington, D.C.  Doug Collins supports the law enforcement community and we strongly endorse him as our next U.S. Senator.”

The 18 Sheriffs who endorsed are:

  • Gerald Couch – Hall County
  • Chad Nichols – Rabun County
  • Dane Kirby – Fannin County
  • Carlton Speed – Banks County
  • Craig Nobles – Long County
  • Gene Scarbrough – Tift County
  • Frank Reynolds – Cherokee County
  • Doyle Wooten – Coffee County
  • Steve Thomas – Franklin County
  • Stacey Nichols – Gilmer County
  • Mitch Ralston – Gordon County
  • Billy Hancock – Crisp County
  • Joey Terrell – Habersham County
  • Janis Mangum – Jackson County
  • Carlton Powell – Thomas County
  • Don Whitaker – Worth County
  • Darren Mitchum – Twiggs County
  • Stacy Jarrard – Lumpkin County

“Growing up as the son of a Georgia State Trooper, our law enforcement officers were always my biggest heroes and a part of my family,” Doug said. “These men and women put their lives on the line to serve and protect each and every day, and now they’re putting their names and reputations on the line for me. To say I’m humbled is an understatement.”
