    I first met Doug when we were both students in the CJ program at Troy State Florida Region in the early 90s. Doug is a man of integrity and has a vast amount of law enforcement experience. I consider him a friend and know he would make a fine SHERIFF. Good luck Doug. I wished I lived in Escambia County Florida so I could vote for you.
