I’m sure y’all remember the Stolen Valor Bobbsey Twins, Rick Jowers and Leroy Foley. Both were running for Sheriff of Callahan County, Texas, and both were outed for embellishing their military service. Both have resigned from the race, and neither are now employed at the Callahan County Sheriff’s Office.<\/p>\n

The Republican Party will have to nominate a replacement candidate after June 15.<\/p>\n

Taylor Co. Sheriff’s Office Sgt. withdraws from Callahan Co. Sheriff’s race<\/h3>\n

by Jamie Burch<\/strong><\/p>\n

ABILENE, Texas \u2014 A sergeant with the Taylor County Sheriff’s Office took his hat out of the race for Callahan County Sheriff.<\/p>\n

Sgt. Cliff Griffin said Thursday that he withdrew his name from consideration for the Republican Party nomination.<\/p>\n

“The decrease in pay I would take has proved to be too high and without a secondary income would prove to be a tremendous burden upon my family,” said Griffin. “I am lucky to currently be working for an outstanding organization that has treated me amazingly well and has given me the opportunity for a great future within it.”<\/p>\n

Griffin would take a $16,000 pay cut as sheriff.<\/p>\n

Callahan Country Sheriff\u2019s salary: $40,574.53<\/p>\n

Current salary: $56,500<\/p>\n

Former Chief Deputy Rick Jowers won the Republican primary in March, but withdrew his name amid a stolen valor allegation.<\/p>\n

A write-in candidate could file to run between July 27 and Aug. 25.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

At least he’s quitting for monetary reason, not embellishing his military service, if any. Seems Callahan County should consider sweetening the Sheriff’s salary to attract more qualified candidates. Maybe they could throw a Chili cook-off. Read the entire article here: KTXS<\/a><\/p>\n
