Sheriff candidates' forum videos | Eastern North Carolina Now

    Publisher's Note: This article originally appeared in the Beaufort Observer.

    Five of the nine announced candidates for Sheriff of Beaufort County addressed the Beaufort Patriot TEA Party on January 16, 2014. They were Todd Alligood, Gary Blount, Ernie Coleman, Donald Dixon and Harry Meredith. The other candidates who did not attend were Val Scales, Rick Guthrie, Al Murphy and Russell Davenport. Each candidate was given ten minutes to make a presentation and afterwards the floor was opened for a Q&A session. The individual presentations are present below, followed by a video clip of the Q&A session.

    The TEA Party has announced that it will offer the other candidates an opportunity to present their case for what they should be elected Sheriff at the next TEA Party meeting (Third Thursday of each month). We will add those videos to this set after the February meeting.

    The candidates spoke in alphabetical order. The first was Todd Alligood, and then the others:











    Here's the Q&A session:

So... can I quote Mr. Coleman as "Best not be gay in my county," or is that paraphrasing? Mr. Meredith, if you had a major role in the administration of the jail, why did we have the disaster last year? Good management? Those were the thoughts I had watching these videos. Highly critical, I know, but when every candidate is an experienced and qualified family role-model superstar hero of the people, I take a good look at what their trying not to say.
