Most of the deputies I know (one retired after 20 years) are pulling for Shrader. He seems like a stand up guy. I've known Mink for about 12 years, he wasn't a bad sheriff IMO, and he trusts Shrader. Good background, likes guns, and there was talk he was going to pull back the reigns on some of the techno BS that Jeffco has been going crazy for, and actually push for his deputies to get more involved. Right now, we need some hard changes up here in Evergreen, it seems like a lot of the deputies up here are fishing for stuff instead of focusing on community policing the general consensus is that they're bullies and just like to pick on the youth and be hard chargers. That's not what this town is about, we need deputies that are good at crime prevention, fire cooperation (especially after the Blue Bell Fire fiasco), and more community interaction. I've known the EHS SRO for about 15 years, she's awesome and said she's voting for Shrader, so if that's who she backs, that's who I'm backing.
