In fact, Kramer was my first Sergeant when I started in 1986 and I trained Perez when he was a rookie in 1994. I also had the priviledge to work with both of these candidate’s fathers.

Pat Perez was an affective front line street sergeant and fun to work with, however, he’s struggling as an administrator. It’s no coincidence that he’s had several major union grievances filed against him and that he can’t get along with the County Board or balance his budget.

Kramer has always been a law enforcement professional and has been enhancing his education since I’ve known him. Kramer has worked at an adminstrative level in every aspect of the Sheriff’s Office and he knows where every ounce of budgetary fat is hiding.

Perez awarded Kramer the KCSO’s highest administrative honor, the LEADERSHIP award. Kramer is a proven administrator and leader and I’ll be voting for Kramer on Nov. 2nd.
