Columbia County Democrats have endorsed candidates for this year’s local elections.
The Columbia County Democratic Committee is out with four endorsements including Don Krapf, a 23-year veteran of the Sheriff’s Office, for County Sheriff. Committee Chair Keith Kanaga:
"He is really well qualified to be sheriff given his decades in law enforcement, and also his vision for the future of law enforcement, his vision for taking the sheriff's department to another level in Columbia County."
Krapf says he is commited to changing the office to "meet the moment," and become more connected to the community it serves.
"I'm running for sheriff on a community centric based platform to improve the relationships within the community, the diverse community that Columbia County is, and to increase the emphasis on training, implicit bias, cultural sensitivity, sensitivity training."
