Safe communities. Trusted leadership. Accountable service.
I’m Ian Smith, and I’m running for Sheriff of Lincoln County because I’ve seen too many broken promises and double standards in local law enforcement. Those chosen to lead have let us down time and again with questionable morals and ethics.

About Ian Smith
I may not be as prominent and polished as some candidates, but if you ask the people I have served, I get results. I have been serving my community, state, and nation for 21 years: volunteer firefighter, EMT, combat veteran, police officer, and city council member. I want to use my wealth of experience to create positive change in Lincoln County.
