Residents of Somerset County,

 I am very proud and honored to have served as your Sheriff this first term.  I am actively seeking re-election to my second term.  The past four years have been the fastest years of my life.  I believe that respect is earned and doesn’t come automatically with a title.  I work side by side with my deputies and adhere to two work ethics which are, treat others with respect and don’t ask anyone to do anything that you wouldn’t do.  I have worked diligently to improve deputy and public safety.  I have organized and developed a Handgun Safety and Familiarization Course for women resulting in 120 Somerset County women now being trained to date.   Because I believe strongly in people being responsible for their actions and conduct I have actively pursued individuals wanted on county bench warrants.  By the use of our local media and an anonymous tip line we have apprehended over 500 wanted people.

I have a very financially effective office and will continue to be a hard working Sheriff for you the people of Somerset County.  I offer you experience, maturity and the most important quality of all, which is GOOD COMMON SENSE.

 Your Election Day support is appreciated.

 Respectfully,

John A. Mankey, Sheriff
