Sheriff Candidate Threatened By County Party Chairman

4/7/2016

Chairman Mike Ford openly trashed a cop running for office.

  Does Chairman Ford seem to favor candidates from one particular consulting firm? Some say his behavior seems to indicate so.

 On Wednesday, Tulsa County Sheriff candidate, Officer Luke Sherman of the Tulsa Police Dept., was threatened directly and trashed in the media for announcing his intention to run in the upcoming race for county sheriff.

 Tulsa GOP county chairman, Michael Ford, called the Sherman campaign declaration "rash" and "juvenile". Michael Ford wants all Republicans to support Vic Regalado, who was just elected to finish the last months of the term the Stanley Glanz had been serving, prior to his resignation in disgrace. This morning, Officer Sherman was live in the studio of 1170KFAQ with morning drive host, Pat Campbell. Sherman told KFAQ listeners that he and others received a threatening email from Chairman Ford.

  In a few days, Sheriff-elect Vic Regalado will also declare as a candidate for a new term as Tulsa County Sheriff. Will Ford regard Regalado as "rash and juvenile"?


  The special election just completed was without a runoff election despite the failure of any of the nearly dozen Republicans who sought the office, to win a majority of the vot
e.
​
  Yesterday, four of those candidates stated that they would have thrown their support to Sherman in the event that there was a normal runoff election. their combined vote tallies vastly surpasses that of Sheriff-elect Vic Regalado.

   Coincidently, Vic Regalado's fundraising irregularities surfaced just days prior to the special election primary date. Regalado still has not answered many direct questions from his Republican opponents. Many Republicans fear that the massive dark money used to get Regalado elected is an indicator that Tulsa County will continue to have a sheriff's office clouded in controversy.
​
Also in dispute is the practice of buying rank advancements at the Tulsa Police Department. Regalado paid money to expedite his rank advancement.

    ​"No politician 'checks off every box" in your list of issues. You have to prioritize and use personal discretion regarding every current and future issue that you can imagine. Then you have to also judge integrity & consistency. A candidate's openness to study the issues & courage to think for themselves. Then you need to review their honesty & work ethic.  I respect any voter's decision, when they've informed themselves and took voting seriously." - David Van Risseghem

 SoonerPolitics.org is committed to informing & mobilizing conservative Oklahomans for civic reform & restored liberty. We seeks to utilize the efforts of all cooperative facets of the Conservative movement... Content of the diverse columns are solely at the discretion of the dozens of websites who create the content.   David Van Risseghem  is the founder of this platform.
 Sooner Politics News is a platform, not a media site. All our bloggers get their feeds promoted regardless of content. As soon as We suppress or delete even one posting, we become an endorser of whatever We didn't censor..The publisher doesn't (and could not) logically agree with all the content, so we would not expect any rational reader to agree, either. What we do hope, is that readers will think for themselves, and at least be better informed of the issues, events, and values that our citizen journalists work hard to provide for free.. We automate much of the tasks so that our sources' content gets as much exposure as possible. We encourage constructive discussion & debate. The solution is more free speech, not less.​
