My name is Keith Humphrey. I met Brad Boulton in 2008. When I became the Chief of Police for the City of Lancaster,Texas. I don't normally do endorsements. However, I am honored to endorse my good friend for Sheriff. From the first day, I witnessed resiliency and leadership from this young man. They say, “Crisis Spawns Leaders”, I have seen this with Brad first hand. Being able to keep his officers strong and focused following one of the most tragic incidents in the history of the both the City of Lancaster, and the Lancaster Police Department. On June 20, 2010, Brad actually saw one of his Officers killed in the line of duty. Without hesitation, Brad ran directly to the threat. After neutralizing the threat and checking on our fallen Officer, Brad refocused on his officers, who were visibly shaken. The first thing Brad said to his troops was, “Stay focused for Craig. You still have work to do.” That is what Brad is all about. Taking care of others and placing himself second. Empathy, Professionalism, Confident, Innovative, and Selfless describes Brad. Hamilton County will be much safer place,with Brad Boulton as Sheriff.

I met Brad when he came back to Hamilton as the Chief of Police. I found him to be respectful, honest & a man you can talk to. Brad has shared some of his goals with me & one of the most important ones in my opinion is opening the county jail back up. I believe he will work with our commissioners with our county’s best interest at heart. He is dedicated, highly qualified & has many years of experience to be our sheriff. Brad has our full support in his run for Hamilton County Sheriff.
