This a conversation getting to know a little bit about John King from Charles Town WV. He is running for Sheriff.
I welcome anyone running for office to come on the podcast to discuss their platform and motivations.
From John King's Facebook Page.

"My name is John King, and I am running as an Independent candidate for Sheriff of Jefferson County. As an Independent Candidate, I had to obtain a large number of signatures to get on the Ballot. I would like to thank the hundreds of people who took the time to speak to me over the recent months in regards to my ideas for Jefferson County. In my opinion, the Sheriff should be non-partisan, and if elected I will be a Sheriff of the people for the people. Therefore, all Independents, Democrats, Republicans, and other political organizations are welcome and encouraged to support my campaign. I take the oath and commitment of being Sheriff sincerely as an act of giving back to the community. In fact, if legally possible I will defer half of my salary back to Jefferson County in order to circulate funding to other resources.
My over thirty (30) years Federal Law Enforcement career with the United States Capitol Police in Washington DC has provided me with a broad and diverse background in the justice system with respect to vital operational and administrative features of government. During my distinguished service with the Department, I served as a Patrol Officer, Administrative Officer, Administrative Sergeant, Canine Sergeant / Handler, and Special Agent / Bomb Technician.
While assigned to the Administrative Services Bureau, my duties included developing policy and procedures, special directives, information technology, budget, procurement, contracts with vendors, purchasing, and asset management. The operational experiences I obtained as a supervisor gave me the opportunity to write evaluations, work with Unions, personnel management, payroll, scheduling, project overtime, manage training, travel requests, and develop plans of action for Congressional protection missions within Washington DC and the throughout the United States. One of my greatest experiences as a Special Agent / Bomb Technician was working with the United States Government, Office of Special Technologies “Technical Support Working Group”, on Counter-Terrorism. The work consisted of assisting in overseeing millions of dollars in research and development programs to combat terrorism for First Respondents and the Military. Throughout my service, I was required to maintain various high ranking “Top Secret” clearances from the Department of Defense, the Department of Energy and the Central Intelligence Agency to accomplish specific tasks and projects as a trusted Agent.
In the time I have lived in Jefferson County, the divisions within the Sheriff’s Office have been a pleasure to interact with and perpetually professional. If elected, my goal is to ensure our Sheriff’s Office possesses the best education, training, and equipment among our personnel. Within the goals I have set will hopefully increase and create constant preservation of safety and security of all personnel in the Sheriff’s Office who are providing the same qualities to residents of Jefferson County. I believe in doing so will ensure the necessary harmonious work environment to be at our most productive. If elected, I will ensure the Sheriff’s Office maintains the upmost integrity, ethics, accountability, honesty, transparency, diversity, fairness, and empathy in a professional manner at all times. The public deserves to have the utmost faith and confidence in the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office. The outreach to all residences, I believe, must be ongoing in order to build strong relationships and trust within the community.
I hope this gives you a little background of my experiences and commitment to serve the citizens of Jefferson County. Over the course of my campaign, any questions or comments can be addressed here or E-mailed to johnkingforsheriff@gmail.com. In the future, I will be setting up meet and greet events and will continue to provide more information.

Miner's Lady is an 8-Hour Endurance Run that takes place in Harper's Ferry, WV. The course is a 10K loop that meanders through crushed gravel and single track. The loop has a few water-crossings with the turn around/ half way point Aid Station at a beautiful waterfall along the Shenandoah River. The aim of this race is to get as many 10K loops in as you can within the 8-hour time frame. Runners are encouraged to set a goal of at least 3 loops! We'll provide a fully stocked aid station at the start/finish lodge as well as a mobility mat area to mobilize in between loops; water and electrolytes will also be available at the half-way point of the loop. Registration caps at 140 runners!The Blue Ridge Mountains and Shenandoah River only come together for a brief moment in West Virginia, so we like to think John Denver's inspiration is our race course.
