Folks, this one was almost too easy to get behind. Why? Because I've known Kevin Suthard since we were in seventh grade and he has always been someone who I admire and respect and he's ever abounded in wisdom and vision. I'll admit, I was a bit shocked around 1994 or so when I heard that Kevin was going into law enforcement. But he spent thirty years working at the Rockingham County Sheriff's Department and those were decades that were laden in public service. Kevin has a true heart for the people of the county and that hasn't stopped at all since his retirement. Now Kevin is moving forward and upward to the next level...
A few days ago Kevin announced that he is running for Rockingham County Board of Commissioners in the 2026 election. And though I no longer live in Rockingham County, North Carolina, I am declaring for all to see that I am 1000% behind him. Kevin has spoken up in the past few months about the things that could be better in the county. Mainly, soaring taxes and the casino in the western part of Rockingham that apparently NOBODY has wanted except for a few interested parties not concerned about the wishes and welfare of their constituents. Those alone make Kevin an endorsable candidate. And I can vouch for his character and tell you all now, that Kevin has the drive and fortitude to make good on addressing those concerns. He's running on a platform of transparent government, and that is what y'all "back home" are going to get with Kevin Suthard as Rockingham County commissioner.
Here is the link to Kevin's official campaign page on Facebook. And I'm going to be sure to be posting more about his campaign here as things roll along to the primary election this coming March.
Kevin, you've got this. And Rockingham County is going to be blessed to have you in a leadership role serving it.
