Richard answers to the people he serves — not political action committees or outside interests. As sheriff, his decisions will be guided by the needs of Saline County citizens, not donors or party pressure. That independence matters. When law enforcement leadership is accountable to the community, trust grows, transparency increases, and priorities stay focused where they belong: public safety, fairness, and integrity. Richard’s commitment is simple and unwavering — serve the people, protect the county, and answer to the voters alone.
I’m running for Sheriff because I believe in conservative values, strong leadership, and a safer Saline County. With over 25 years of military and law enforcement experience, I’m ready to get to work on day one.
Join a team that believes in service, integrity, and putting our community first. Together, we can elect a sheriff who puts people before politics. Whether you’re knocking on doors, making phone calls, or helping at events, every effort counts.
Donating to Richard Friend’s campaign helps bring honest, community-focused leadership to Saline County. Every contribution, big or small, moves us closer to electing a sheriff who puts people before politics.
