As the people charged with protecting our counties, we believe Mike Beebe is the best choice for governor because tough times call for tough leaders. We trust Mike Beebe.
Over the past three years, many sheriffs in Arkansas have experienced natural disasters in their counties, Governor Beebe has been fast to react with assistance from the National Guard, Arkansas Department of Emergency Management and critical state emergency funds to help with disaster recovery. As Mike Beebe has said of national support following the 2007 Dumas tornado, they can get on board, get behind us or get out of the way. We take care of our people in Arkansas. As Sheriffs, we could not agree more.
Mike Beebe has proven a strong leader in supporting Arkansas law enforcement. As a Senator, Mike Beebe supported the Sheriffs Association Drug awareness program, responsible for educating more than 100,000 children annually on the dangers of illegal drugs. As Attorney General, Mike Beebe took action to move pseudoephedrine behind pharmacy counters, cutting down the access to a key ingredient in the production of methamphetamine. As Governor, he supports the Drug Courts and the Department of Community Corrections to more effectively and efficiently punish non-violent offenders.
Mike Beebe signed into law a measure to create a system for Arkansas’s law enforcement officers to track purchases of pseudoephedrine. Governor Beebe stepped up to help Arkansas Sheriffs in these tough economic times, providing additional funding to reimburse county jails holding state inmates.
As Sheriffs, we have to balance our own budgets while protecting our communities. As Arkansans, we have to balance our family checkbooks in the midst of the worst national economic downturn since the Great Depression. We have seen Mike Beebe’s ability to cut taxes, create jobs and make record improvements in our public schools while meeting our state’s mandate for a balanced budget. He is the man we trust because Mike Beebe keeps his promises. Mike Beebe believes in Arkansas.
We believe he is the right man to be Governor, now more than ever.
