The New Sheriff in Allen County Poll

It should not come as too much of a surprise that the poll shows Ken Fries leading in the race for Sheriff of Allen County. Tina Tavino, running as a woman, period, is a uphill battle in a heavily dominated republican lead county. So, for Tavino, to get the majority of the conservative bible toting Christian males to vote for her would go against their mythical traditional family value theme.

Tavino has been one class act for the Democratic Party. Ken Fries was appointed to his new position, with the blessing of an outgoing Republican sheriff who went unopposed during the last election. Nevertheless, P.J. Smith and Tina Tavino offered some insight on how a one party led community is not a true reflection on how the whole community thinks..can we say no to consolidation? It is interesting that the poll only gives Fries 57%. Running as a woman does have it obstacles, but Tavino need only remember Linda Buskirk appeal to women, many who crossed over to vote for Buskirk in her race for Mayor.
