Adam Wright, candidate for Ohio County sheriff.
My name is Adam Wright and I am running for Sheriff of Ohio County. I have called Ohio County home since the day I was born. Originally from Centertown, I currently live in Beaver Dam with my fiancé, Ally, and our dog, Maggie. I attend Beaver Dam Baptist Church and enjoy being outdoors and spending time with family.
I have spent most of my life proudly serving the people of Ohio County by working in public safety. I started as a volunteer firefighter and then went on to work as a 911 Dispatcher, Deputy Jailer, Sheriff’s Deputy, K-9 Handler, Police Officer, Police Chief, Kentucky State Trooper, and Detective.
I wholeheartedly believe that each position I have held and each agency I have worked for has prepared me for the title of Sheriff. Not only have I performed many different tasks and received a wide range of training, but working under different administrations has also provided me a unique opportunity to see different approaches and methods for running a department.
As sheriff of Ohio County, I will implement more proactive policing in our communities. I will seek to provide a broader range of police coverage across the county. I will place an emphasis on community-police relationships. I will focus heavily on child abuse and safety. And finally, I will work diligently to tackle our county’s growing drug problem by partnering with agencies such as Pennyrile Narcotics Task Force and Kentucky State Police’s DE/SI Unit – for the entirety of my term.
I humbly ask for your vote in the Primary Election on May 17, 2022.
