This election is about tomorrow, not yesterday.
Frederick County is growing. Our challenges are changing. Our Sheriff's Office must be ready for what comes next, not focused on reliving old battles.
We need leadership that looks forward—leadership focused on public safety, accountability, transparency, community partnerships, protecting our seniors, supporting victims, and giving deputies the tools they need to succeed.
Karl Bickel has already proven he can compete countywide. He has the experience, the credibility, and the name recognition to win in November.
Most of all he has the vision and professionalism to change FCSO for the good of all of us.
Democrats have a choice to make in this primary: nominate the candidate with the strongest path to victory, or risk handing another term to Chuck Jenkins.
If you want a Sheriff who will put Frederick County first and focus on the future rather than the past, make your voice heard.
Get out and vote.
The future of Frederick County won't be decided by the loudest voices. It will be decided by the people who show up.
Vote Karl Bickel for Sheriff.
Karl Bickel
Frederick First
