By Elmer Whittaker August 16, 2011 Not to worry about they told me over and over again. Once the redistricting is done there will be plenty of candidates running for the various offices and open seats here in Mohave County for the elections in 2012. Now that the brought the official proposal out for review there are indeed a few candidates announcing their intentions of running for offices.
So what’s my problem this time some might ask. Well, it’s the same problem as it always was. We need to replace the corrupt officials with honest, liberty-minded people who care one again about the citizens of Mohave County instead of their own pockets and power trips.
While most of the people are concentrated on the now 5 candidates for the Board Of Supervisors many completely overlook the importance of the election of a constitutional County Sheriff along with a new County Attorney. A constitutional County Sheriff and County Attorney alone can stop the corruption, abuse of power and police misconduct.
I am not aware of a serious candidate for Mohave County Sheriff to challenge Tom Sheahan nor am I aware of a serious candidate for Mohave County Attorney to replace Matt Smith.
Although it is still unclear who of the current Board of Supervisors is choosing to run as an incumbent, there at least are some serious candidates who have announced to challenge them although I am not very convinced that they would really be any less corrupt with one or two exceptions maybe.
Here’s what I know so far:
Mohave County Sheriff: Tom Sheahan (R) Incumbent – No challenger announced.
– No serious contender known.
Mohave County Attorney: Matt Smith (R) Incumbent – No challenger announced.
– No serious contender known.
Mohave County Supervisor (3): Buster Johnson (R) Incumbent (?)
Tom Sockwell (R) Incumbent (?)
Gary Watson (R) Incumbent (?)
Announced Challengers (5): Hildy Angius (R) Bullhead City
Roy Hagemyer (R) Mohave Valley
Rick Sherwood (R) Meadview
There is also word of a candidacy announcement out of Bullhead City of someone who held the supervisor seat before around 2001 and who’s reputation of corruption seems to precedes him already, although I cannot even recall his name.
Roy Hagemyer (R) is right now the only candidate that I know of to be on the peoples and the constitution’s side attempting to make a change and difference in Mohave County. Hildy Angius (R) to me is a big unknown, although she has been active in the Mohave County Republican Party already. Ron Walker protégé Rick Sherwood (R) who does not believe that there is corruption in Mohave County would just be another deep step in the wrong direction.
If you the people of Mohave County really want to bring change about, restore the constitution, regain liberty and justice without having to live in fear of reprisals of authorities and their goons, it is way past time. Stop letting those who just want to continue on the same old down trot with the same old corruption, outing you asleep and telling you there is still enough time to find candidates.
What they are talking about is candidates you do not want to vote for anymore. What you want is people candidates who uphold our constitution and fight for the liberty and justice of all citizens of Mohave County.
Here is an incomplete list of possible candidates that I believe in my heart have the courage, conviction and strength to turn Mohave County around, even if some of them don’t know about it yet:
· Roy Hagemyer (R) Mohave Valley, AZ
· Mervin Fried (R) Kingman, AZ
· Gianluca Zanna (R) Golden Valley, AZ
· Ron Gould (R) Lake Havasu City, AZ

· Beth Weisser (D) Golden Valley, AZ
