Editor,
My name is Chuck Lewis (U.S. Marine Corps Veteran and Lake County Resident). I am proudly serving as treasurer for the “David Coffman for Lake County Sheriff ” campaign. My support for David is based not only on my personal interactions with him but also on his extensive law enforcement leadership experience. On a personal level, David is genuine and friendly; he is approachable and wisely listens intently to whomever he is conversing. David welcomes tough questions and thoughtfully answers with clear and distinct plans. He is an honest man whose integrity and reputation for excellence has followed him throughout his life.
A Marine Corps veteran, David entered the Corps at the age of 17 and distinguished himself as a leader, graduating with honors. He also graduated at the top of his law enforcement class and was named the “outstanding recruit.” He became one of the most well respected leaders at the Sacramento Sheriff ’s Department having served in the courtroom, as a jailer, patrol deputy, SWAT detective and internal affairs investigator. David promoted to sergeant then lieutenant, supervised well over 100 employees as patrol assistant commander, jail operations commander, ending his career as the assistant to the chief. He has earned an AA in Social Sciences, a BA in Intelligence Studies and has 15 units towards his Masters in Strategic Leadership. Lieutenant Coffman retired with distinction having earned numerous accolades, and incident ribbons including two Bronze Stars for bravery.
David Coffman has been called an “outsider,” a label he embraces. He has no history with the Lake County Sheriff ’s Office, he owes no one and there will be no political paybacks. He looks at Lake County with fresh eyes, fresh ideas and fresh plans. David is a fiscally and socially conservative Republican who fully supports the second amendment. He is a leader by nature and experience, we are fortunate he calls Lake County home.
As sheriff, David will serve his community with pride, honesty and transparency. He is clearly the more qualified candidate and it is for this reason that that I fully endorse David Coffman for Lake County Sheriff.
Chuck Lewis
