John Anderson for Douglas County Sherriff

[SamuraiCO]

Had someone going door to door today with a write in campaign for John Anderson for Douglas County sherriff. Web site is very plain and not very informative.

Who is the person we want to support in DougCo with the best intentions for us?

I was going over my primary ballot earlier today. I found some links to web resources for candidates here; http://www.dcgop.org/Candidates

Trying to find out if any of them will sign off on NFA -- no answers yet.

Sheriff - Douglas County


John Anderson (R) Grade: AQ
Status: Candidate


Tony Spurlock (R) Grade: A-
Status: Candidate


Lora Thomas (R) Grade: AQ
Status: Candidate


What the Grades Mean:
The NRA-PVF is non-partisan in issuing its candidate grades and endorsements. We do not base our decisions on a candidate's party affiliation, but rather on his or her record on Second Amendment issues. The NRA is a single issue organization. The only issues on which we evaluate candidates seeking elected office are gun-related issues.
A+ A legislator with not only an excellent voting record on all critical NRA issues, but who has also made a vigorous effort to promote and defend the Second Amendment.
A Solidly pro-gun candidate. A candidate who has supported NRA positions on key votes in elective office or a candidate with a demonstrated record of support on Second Amendment issues.
AQ A pro-gun candidate whose rating is based solely on the candidate's responses to the NRA-PVF Candidate Questionnaire and who does not have a voting record on Second Amendment issues.
B A generally pro-gun candidate. However, a "B" candidate may have opposed some pro-gun reform or supported some restrictive legislation in the past.
C Not necessarily a passing grade. A candidate with a mixed record or positions on gun related issues, who may oppose some pro-gun positions or support some restrictive legislation.
D An anti-gun candidate who usually supports restrictive gun control legislation and opposes pro-gun reforms. Regardless of public statements, can usually be counted on to vote wrong on key issues.
F True enemy of gun owners' rights. A consistent anti-gun candidate who always opposes gun owners' rights and/or actively leads anti-gun legislative efforts, or sponsors anti-gun legislation.
? Refused to answer the NRA-PVF Candidate Questionnaire, often an indication of indifference, if not outright hostility, to gun owners' and sportsmen's rights.
endorsedBadge Indicates an NRA Endorsed Candidate
* indicates an incumbent running for re-election

I don't know much about him except that he is running as a write-in candidate for Sheriff of Douglas County and that he made a few guest appearances on Grassroots Radio Colorado last month. If you go onto his Facebook and scroll down there are some podcast audio clips posted of the interviews he did with the Grassroots Radio folks. If that helps at all.

Based on my discussions with other DCSO sheriffs, Spurlock is an undersheriff and predicted to win. They also think he will sign NFA paperwork, but I remain skeptical. None of the candidates have really weighed in on NFA items as far as I've heard so far.

Write In campaigns have to be very organized and very vocal to even have a prayer of challenging a candidate whose name is actually on the ballot.

I have known both for many years and have seen their work.
