The new sheriff must possess CHARACTER, COMMITMENT, AND COMMON SENSE. The position of Cameron Parish sheriff is extremely important to your future and the future of your children. My definition of COMMON SENSE is as follows:

COMMON SENSE MEANS TAKING ACTION NOW The drug problem in our parish has only increased during the past years. Everyone has readily acknowledged and admitted this fact. Why has nothing been done? To wait another day could mean another life lost to drugs in our parish. There is no excuse why a narcotics division is not currently in place. Why doesn't our parish have a K-9 drug dog? There is no explanation why an enhanced drug prevention program focused on high school teenagers has not been implemented. A review of the budget reveals that money is available to fund these essential programs. The problem has been priorities. I will make the attack on drugs my number one priority. Give me a chance to address the problem. COMMON SENSE MEANS DOING WHAT IS RIGHT I pledge that I will run the Sheriff's office as I have run my campaign. It is only right that the people cast their vote based on truth and fact. This is a critical time for Cameron Parish, and your vote should be cast after being properly informed. Throughout this campaign, I have not been deterred by old politics, attacks on my family, and outright false rumors. I pray that the voters will not be swayed by fear tactics or untrue gossip. What is right? A. Right means reopening the Hackberry/Johnson Bayou Substation to afford equal protection for all residents of Cameron Parish. B. Right means that if my brother runs for political office in Cameron Parish I will step down immediately. C. Right means that deputies don't politic on the clock wearing their badge and uniform on your tax dollars. D. Right means that families won't be destroyed by firings at the Sheriff's office if I am elected. E. Right means that deputies with proper training and experience will be properly compensated. F. Right means making decisions based on reason, not politics or family.

COMMON SENSE MEANS WORKING TOGETHER TO MOVE FORWARD We need a Sheriff from Cameron and for Cameron who has the ability to unite the Parish. I will immediately implement a plan to begin networking with other parishes to stop violent and drug related crimes. I pledge to communicate and work with the District Attorney to ensure that those arrested can be properly prosecuted. As a business owner and an appointee to the Southwest Louisiana Economic Development Board, I have a history of working effectively with the Cameron Parish Police Jury. Many of you have expressed discontent with the coordination currently existing with rescue efforts, fighting fires, and hurricane evacuations. I will work with the civil defense personnel and our dedicated volunteers to devise uniform plans and procedures to make full use of our resources and to better serve you. I will appoint a Sheriff's advisory board comprised of people from the east and west sides of the river in an effort to better understand the issues in each community and to unite the parish.

COMMON SENSE MEANS DOING MORE WITH THE RESOURCES WE HAVE I believe that we should maximize the resources that we currently have while at the same attempt to obtain available monies through state and federal grants. This money will not cost the taxpayers of Cameron anything. You should ask yourself, how much in state or federal money have we received in the past? It is imperative that we be creative and proactive to help supplement our department with available money. It is time that we move forward with technology and training. Technology and training will yield better law enforcement. For example, in the past couple of weeks, surrounding agencies have seized millions of dollars in drug money being transported because their personnel were equipped and trained to evaluate suspect criminal activity. I will establish a Deputy Reserve Program. This program will allow citizens that are willing to dedicate their time to help with directing traffic, parking, etc. at public events so that all of our deputies aren't taken off the streets. Parish prisoners will be placed on work detail to clear litter and trash from our streets and highways.

IN THE PRIMARY, 63% OF THE VOTER'S RECOGNIZED THAT A CHANGE WAS NEEDED IN THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE. LET'S TAKE THE NEXT STEP. VOTE LANCE MUDD.
