Chesterfield County Sheriff, Karl Leonard

I am honored to provide my endorsement for Jean Gannon for Virginia State Senate! I ask you to also consider supporting her for this very important position that we need to have in our General Assembly!

Jean's unwavering support for the men and women of law enforcement is unsurpassed. She remained rock-solid on that principle even in the face of efforts to defund the police. She knows the importance of maintaining a strong law-enforcement in our communities and the value of those relationships with our citizens. She is well known and respected throughout the community for her support of local deputies, State Police, and law-abiding gun owners. 

However, there is much more to jean than he support for the blue.

One of the things I admire most about Jean is her "get-it-done" approach to problem solving, always principled in nature and reflective of a true conservative Republican.

One of the smartest people I know who truly has her finger on the pulse of Virginia, she will be a great addition to our Republican members of the State Senate.

It is my privilege to give Jean my enthusiastic endorsement! I hope you will support her as well and vote for Jean Gannon for State Senate on December 12.
