Why Travis Hakes for Chippewa County Sheriff?

I’m asking for your vote on November 8th because I care about the public safety in your communities. My family has been in Chippewa County since the mid-1800s and we’ll be here for many generations to come. I have been a Chief of Police where I balanced a budget, hired employees, wrote grants for equipment, and had a wonderful working relationship with the community. I have been in law enforcement in our area since 2006, and on patrol since 2007. My career and law enforcement certifications make me qualified to be your next Sheriff. My various leadership roles outside law enforcement, include being the Chapter President for Pheasants Forever, which I was named Conservationist of the Year in 2022. I have always maintained multiple jobs at a time, including in agriculture. My leadership, certified experience, and positive history of hard work will show you that I will be more concerned about the public safety of our community than I am a title and collecting a paycheck. If you trust me with your vote, I will earn it every single day I am in office. Respectfully Submitted, Travis C Hakes
