Keetonville Neighbors Gather for Walton Friends and neighbors in the Keetonville Hill/Road area came together to support Scott Walton for Sheriff and the turnout was not only impressive but also something of a high point in the campaign because of the turnout of young people registering to vote. "There were a lot of younger people who came to us and registered to vote," said Rose Walton. "I was so glad to see these young people filling out those forms and saying they want to play their part in this election." "The often overlooked youth vote can no longer be overlooked and I am glad to see so many young people supporting my campaign," said Scott Walton. "These young people are joining the mainstream in saying they want responsible, efficient law enforcement and they want a sheriff who can meet the needs of the future. Soon, these young people will be the ones footing the bill and they're wanting someone who is going to be responsible with their money. As these people start families, they want to feel that they're safe and protected by law enforcement and they're telling me that's why they support my campaign." Scott Walton said that his campaign staff is working hard to register young voters. "We're all about the future and there's no better representatives of the future than young people." The event, held at the home of Steve and Francille Guilfoyle and hosted by Mark and Shirley Lechtenburg, together with Ted and Pam Larkin, braved the day's 95 degree heat and served up a hot dog and marshmallow roast which made some kids forget the heat and have fun roasting marshmallows. One child personally roasted a marshmallow just for Walton prompting him to ask, "Where else could someone have this kind of genuine good neighbor fun?" Scott spoke to the gathering and was well received. "People are excited about this race," he said. "People are engaged and communicating with us, building the relationships that need to exist between law enforcement and the public." Addressing the crowd, Walton spoke of meeting the future demands of Rogers County law enforcement and improving the efficiency of the Sheriff's Office. He spoke of improving response times for service calls and offered some articulation about his plan to meet that goal. Walton also spoke of the need of the Sheriff's Office to foster strong relationships with the citizens. " After addressing the group, individuals spoke to Scott and expressed their support for Walton. "We need protection and service and that's why I'm voting for Scott," said a Keetonville neighbor. The Walton campaign reminds young voters that they can get help registering to vote. Send the campaign an email and request a registration card or simply ask any Scott Walton for Sheriff staff member and a registration card will be provided.
