The 2018 Battle for the Badge With Gary Stevens, Pat Garrahan & Rick Dibasilio
Posted by: thepinetree on 03/22/2018 09:00 AM
San Andreas, CA...Our county should feel gratitude that there are 3 qualified men that care enough about their communities to throw their hats in the ring and run for the office of Sheriff. The candidates are Gary Stevens, Pat Garrahan and appointed Sheriff Rick Dibasilio. Thank You to all of you who emailed in questions!! Of the 70 or so questions we tried to distill them down into the dominate themes such as school safety, cannabis, staffing, vision for the department & more. All three men would provide quality and qualified leadership to the department. The choice is yours and hopefully the video from last night can help you make that decision. We would like to thank Ed Lark and his crews at PATV for not only recording the show for local television but for preparing sound system and venue for last night. Thank You to all of you who attended in person and take the time to watch the video below...
