“Michelle has the proven leadership and experience to lead the Linn County Sheriff’s Office through the difficult and changing times law enforcement is facing today. Her top priority has always been giving the best service to the citizens. I chose Michelle as my undersheriff because I trust her knowledge, judgment, and leadership. She has earned her way to be our Sheriff.”
Jim Yon
Retired Linn County Sheriff
Endorsement from the past 5 Linn County Sheriffs
“Choosing the next Linn County Sheriff requires one to look to each candidate’s level of experience, maturity, integrity and overall ability to provide the most efficient public safety services.
Sheriff Michelle Duncan has over 24 years of law enforcement experience serving Linn County. During her years of experience, Sheriff Duncan worked her way up through the ranks within the Sheriff’s Office. This invaluable experience was gained in part through strong job dedication, striving to always do her best and treating others with dignity.
Sheriff Duncan is a strong defender of the 2nd Amendment and supports law abiding citizens right to bear arms. Additionally, she has the budgetary experience to maintain the fiscal accountability required as Sheriff, making sure the taxpayers’ dollars are spent responsibly.
As former Linn County Sheriffs, we can attest that the Office of Sheriff cannot be a training ground for persons inexperienced in administrative duties or having a lack of leadership. It must be held by an individual best trained, mentored and suited for the position.
Please join us in supporting Sheriff Duncan in the upcoming election.“
