"Bringing the department around the table as family"

I have had the privilege of knowing Sheriff Phil Hodapp for the past ten years. Phil and I share some private property owned by a mutual friend for the purpose of harvesting deer. We do not hunt together, but on adjacent tracts.

With Phil, hunting is a family event. Many times after a day of hunting, we exchange events of the day. Phil’s recap always focuses on his sons’ or daughter’s successes - or missed opportunities. I can hear the pride in his voice in recounting his children’s experiences, along with a glimmer in his eyes.

America’s foundation is built on strong families. The Hodapp family is a cornerstone of that foundation. As Sheriff, Phil has brought these solid family values to the sheriff’s department, which is evident in his relationship with his colleagues. Now, we see the glimmer in his eyes, when he shares about the good things his officers accomplish. You can bet, Sheriff Phil Hodapp will have my vote this November.
