Thank you for visiting my website.

Over the next three months I will knock on a lot of your doors to meet you face to face, as a candidate should or an incumbent. More importantly, I will be meeting with you at your home, church, work, and in the community to share my ideas of our bright future in Travis County, as your Sheriff should.

The incumbent in the race wastes precious taxpayer dollars detaining the wrong people for ICE, he uses unfair promotion practices favoring his college football or school buddies, and refuses community input. He fosters distrust between the foreign born community and law enforcement. Why should Travis County lead the nation in deportation of non-violent or non criminal persons? The cost to taxpayers, stakeholders and the immigrant community has been and will continue to be huge. In times of tight budgets why does he waste your money?

I see a bright future for the Travis County Sheriff’s office. Key aspects of this bright future are making Travis County a safe place to live, work and raise a family for all people. That is what this campaign is about, the future. Enough damage has been done. The 2012 election is about this year, 2016, 2020, and beyond. The decisions we make in today will go a long way in determining the safety of our community for decades to come. That is why I am asking for your vote on May 29th. We must prepare for the future by embracing change and innovation, not dwelling on the past or hiding from it.

Thank you,
John Sisson
