It’s time for a new sheriff and the upper floors at the sheriff’s office to be cleaned out
Mr.Baldwin you have my vote may god continue to guide you for you to help us fight for our young people to be able to feel safe no matter what race they are
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.

A New Beginning in this County is what we have Needed for a long time!!Our Young People need to feel Safe and be able to trust that our Law Enforcement is here to Protect and Serve and I think this is what this Candidate is all about! Get out and Vote People when the time comes and let’s Give Escambia County A New Sheriff!
I like that he loves the community and will protect and serve, His credentials and experience will serve him well. I believe he will be an example to follow and give this county hope. He has my vote. Walk tall.
