Truly Grateful for Support From Fellow PPOA Members

Happy new year to everyone. I hope each of you had a great holiday and was able to spend quality time with your family and loved ones.

I want to start by saying thank you to everyone who took the time to vote and put their trust in me as a PPOA Board member. I’m truly grateful for the support, and I don’t take this responsibility lightly. Knowing that my fellow members believed in me enough to give me this opportunity means more than I can put into words.

I also want to give a sincere thank-you to Luis Orozco for a job well done. His hard work, dedication and commitment to our members have made a real impact. The time and effort he put in to serve this organization deserve recognition, and I appreciate everything he has done for PPOA and its members.

This position isn’t just a title to me — it’s a responsibility. When you voted for me, you trusted me with your voice, and that trust matters. Because of that, it’s now my time to step up, fight and make sure the concerns of Sheriff Security Officers and Sheriff Security Assistants are heard and taken seriously.

I know firsthand the challenges we face. Issues like fair pay, proper uniforms and other ongoing concerns affect us every day, both on and off the job. These aren’t small matters — they impact morale, safety and the respect we deserve as professionals. I am committed to pushing for real improvements in these areas and standing firm on behalf of our members.

I believe in listening, being present and speaking up when it counts. I want you to know that I’m here for you. I will bring your concerns forward, ask the tough questions and advocate for what’s right. This role is about service, unity and making sure no one feels overlooked or unheard.

Thank you again for your trust, your support and your confidence in me. I’m ready to work, ready to fight and ready to represent you with honesty and integrity. Together, we can move forward and continue building a stronger future for our law enforcement family.
