After more than 28 years of law enforcement service as a police officer and Chief of Police, I am embarking on a campaign to become the Sheriff of Loudoun County. I hope you'll join in this journey and consider contributing to my campaign -
I am honored to be recognized by
@MomsDemand
as a Gun Sense candidate. I believe it is important to stand up for gun safety and education so we can make our communities safer while continuing to protect our 2nd Amendment rights.
See my statement below on the
@LoudounSheriff
settlement on the Loudoun Jail scalding.
Also sign our petition calling on Sheriff Mike Chapman to release all the details of the settlement.
Making progress in my campaign! Joined
@MomsDemand
for a meeting, advocating for gun safety. Engaged with voters at Potomac Greens Town Hall. Went canvassing and participated in Lucketts community trash collection, showing the importance of community.

A big thank you to Ashby Ponds! The meet and greet was incredible. Connecting with the vibrant community of amazing residents was a privilege. Your warm hospitality and engaging conversations have fueled my determination to serve and protect Loudoun County as your next sheriff.
Thank you to the organizers and thank you for the incredible support last night at the Loudoun County Community Candidate Forum! I can’t wait to talk to the community more at the next candidate forum in South Riding on Sep. 21st.

Thank you so much to
@banseforva
and everyone else that came out and joined us in Hamilton this evening for a terrific event!
It was also great to be joined by former Loudoun County Sheriff Steve Simpson and Robin Roopnarine the Democratic nominee for Treasurer!
It was a beautiful night to support
@Buckley4LoCo
and meet with voters at Lowry’s Crab Shack in Hamilton.
Great people, better food. I’ll be back for another cinnamon roll.
Did you know a candidate for any office shall not be printed upon any official ballot unless they submit a declaration of candidacy, which is a petition signed by a set number of qualified voters in which the election is held and lists the residence address of each such voter?
Enjoyed a great Sunday evening in Waterford meeting residents and learning about their concerns. Thank you Christy Ruane Hertel and Tom for opening your home up to me and
@banseforva
. The conversations were lively and clearly a home filled with educated voters.

This Sunday, the 15th from 1-3 in Sterling, your local Democratic candidates, including myself, will be holding a “drive through” petition signing. Please come out if you’re able. Let’s get everyone on the ballot as soon as possible. All necessary information can be found below.
The energy of democracy in action! Early voting kicked off last Friday, September 22nd, for the November 7th General Election. The enthusiasm and excitement among voters have been absolutely amazing! Let's keep that momentum going and make our voices heard.

Loudoun County Democratic Sheriff Nominee Craig Buckley Calls on Loudoun County Sheriff Office to Release Details of Settlement on Scalding of Inmate at Jail
@MarkHerringVA
"I support Craig Buckley for Sheriff of Loudoun County because I know he is the best person to lead law enforcement in our community. Please join me in voting for Craig."
@MarkWarner
"I am proud to support Craig Buckley for Loudoun County Sheriff. Craig's background in public safety will help him impartially enforce the law and prioritize the needs of the community."
I would also point out that just because the state falls short in coming to a solution, our Sheriff’s Office could adopt internal guidelines that are more humane without being mandated by the state. Again, why can’t we be a leader on this issue instead of a follower.
The past week was very active meeting new friends and catching up with old friends from the Purcellville Tag sale to Sterling Fest to the Waterford Fair, then supporting Domestic Violence awareness, canvassing Leesburg neighborhoods, and finishing up with the Festival of Flowers
Remembering all of the civilians who lost their lives in the attack on our nation and honoring the brave first responders who sacrificed their lives in the service to others.
#NeverForget
His three decades of public safety and law enforcement expertise will restore the broken trust of Lousdoun residents in the Loudoun County Sheriff's Office."
I went into law enforcement to provide help to others in need and do what I can to make my community or any place I am better than I found it. It was great meeting and talking to folks in downtown Leesburg yesterday!
I have always admired the work
@MarkHerringVA
did in his two terms as Attorney General. He knows better than most the pivotal roll law enforcement plays in Virginia. Thank you so much for your support!
Thank you so much Representative
@JenniferWexton
! It is an honor to have you supporting this campaign! Together we will restore trust in
@LoudounSheriff

@SpanbergerVA07
I am deeply honored and humbled to receive the endorsement from Rep. Abigail Spanberger for Loudoun County Sheriff. Her trust in my ability to lead and protect our community means the world to me. Thank you, Abigail, for your support!

Visited with business owners in Sterling and collected campaign petition signatures today. Nearly 1 in 4 residents of Loudoun County were not born in the US and many are business owners who contribute immensely to our economic viability and cultural diversity.
Two years later, we should appreciate that our Constitution proved to be an enduring protector of representative government. As a sworn law enforcement officer, I took an oath to support the Constitution of the United States, our state of Virginia, and the laws of our local 1/2

I respect his leadership skills and the compassion he brings to the law enforcement profession, and know he will bring the same collaborative approach to keeping Loudoun County safe.”
Purcellville is a great community! On this somber day, Mayor Milan, our Town Council, American Legion Post 293, ADAMS Interfaith Scouts, and the citizens of Purcellville came together to honor and remember our local fallen heroes.
I’m so thankful the rain cleared up!

We need to adopt appropriate solitary confinement guidelines. Rather than lag behind other states we should strive to be a leader. This is 2023, not 1923 so we should be able to find a solution to the problem.
Thank you to everyone who came out in the cold weather yesterday to sign my petition for candidacy and share what you’d like to see in your Sheriff’s Office. Your support means the world to me.

All violence especially against political opponents is unconscionable.
The backbone of American Democracy is the fundamental right to peacefully disagree.
Our politics should be about bringing folks together, not dividing us.
I’m having a great time with my son
@LoganBuckley55
getting petition signatures and hearing what’s important to voters. Stop by if you’re able, I’m out here with other candidates in the Sterling Cascades Farmers Market Parking lot until 3.
It is so great to receive the endorsement of
@timkaine
. Senator Kaine has been a committed public servant serving Virginia for decades, and it is an honor to receive his support.

Craig will bring the leadership and management improvements needed to serve Loudoun’s diverse community and protect the Constitutional rights of all citizens."
Today is Human Trafficking Awareness Day!
Most victims are trafficked by a family member, friend, or someone they met online. Any child can be exploited and no victim is at fault. Build and maintain a healthy relationship with your children. 1/2
We are the only the police department in Virginia to successfully lobby for and gain a grant from the Virginia Risk Sharing Association (VRSA), they insure most municipalities in Virginia, to fully fund a mental health/wellness program for our Police Department. 1/2
Law Enforcement Officers are protectors and fixers and are pretty good at solving problems for others, but we must recognize the importance of taking care of them so they can take care of others.
Talk to them about healthy relationships and healthy sexual development, be vigilant about online safety, and learn the signs that trafficking may be occurring. Visit www.human trading for more information.
Democrats and Republicans alike were working toward a solution to set the 15 day limit on solitary confinement, but a last minute request was made by the AG’s office to hold up the legislation over concerns about civil litigation.
