Republican Michael Gauger has a distinguished decades-long career in law enforcement. He was promoted from Deputy to Detective, then Sergeant, Lieutenant, Captain, Major, and Colonel before being named Chief Deputy (second in command), a position he held for sixteen years under the current administration. He retired because he could no longer stand by and watch Ric Bradshaw make unethical decisions and squander taxpayer dollars.
As your next Sheriff, Gauger’s top priorities include:
Chief Deputy 2010-2021 ~ Colonel 2005-2010 ~ Major 2003-2005 ~ Captain 1998-2003 ~ Lieutenant 1994-1998 ~ Sergeant 1984-1994 ~ Detective 1978-1984 ~ Vice Agent 1974 ~ Deputy 1971-1974
