Cross-Partisan Experts Who Share a Mission

Paul Penzone

“Democracy can only survive and thrive if we respect and protect its values and principles. Elected officials must respect those they serve, freely act within their elected authority and act on behalf of a nation that ensures their safety so they may make decisions without fear or intimidation. That is a true democracy.”

–Sheriff Paul Penzone, Sheriff

“I joined the committee because I took an oath, along with my law enforcement colleagues, to protect and serve all persons, which is in alignment with my personal values and morals.”

–Captain Harold Love, Captain, Owner and Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC)

Derek Bowens

“I have joined this committee because I believe in the mission and have full confidence that we will develop practices that are results driven and further strengthen the pipeline between law enforcement and election officials.”

–Derek Bowens, Director of Elections
