When Josh McAllister launched his campaign for Winn Parish Sheriff last year, he filed his Position Paper (a document outlining his intentions) with the Clerk of Court’s Office on June 15.

Asked why, McAllister replied, “All the time, politicians promise the world to voters when they are running but when they get into office, they never deliver.  I want the people of Winn Parish to know what they can expect from me.  This Position Paper will remain posted at the Sheriff’s Office so the voters can hold me accountable.”

When discussing the Sheriff’s Office after July 1, McAllister is hesitant to use the term “my office” when he speaks.  “It is not my office,” he explains.  “It belongs to the people of Winn Parish.  It is their taxes that support it.  The people who are coming to work for me, they will understand that as well and the Position Paper will be a reminder to them.

“These are not empty promises.  Our job will be to fairly enforce the law, to act as public servants to all the people of Winn Parish.”
