RB Buzz: David Morgan to run for Sheriff

gunWe’re hearing that David Morgan is planning to file today to run for Escambia County Sheriff.

Sheriff McNesby received 18,877 votes in the three-person Republican 2004 primary, while Morgan pulled in a distant 7,884 votes and Doyle Thomas trailed with 5,686 votes. Morgan, owner of Morgan Investigations, was a virtual unknown at the time.

Back then Morgan’s campaign issues were:

    • Pay and benefits for deputies and corrections officers
    • Zero-base and restructure existing budget for needed funds.
    • Building trust within community and re-establish strong neighborhood watch programs with sheriff/chief deputy participation.
    • Honor, character and integrity by avoiding the appearance of impropriety and never using the office for personal favors or intervention in private matters.
