Mayor Cheryl Charles, Inola

Inola Mayor Cheryl Charles has endorsed Scott Walton in his bid to be elected Sheriff of Rogers County. 

Mayor Charles isn't just the Inola Mayor, she is also the owner of Inola Casting Works which has been publicly touted as a source of pride for Oklahoma. 

In speaking of Walton, Mayor Charles said, "I would like to take this opportunity to publicly endorse Scott Walton for Rogers County Sheriff. Scott has outstanding leadership ability and life long experience in law enforcement."

As Mayor, Charles is responsible for providing law enforcement services, fire protection, and emergency services to her town's citizens. 

Her company is noted for multiple contributions to Oklahoma including raising $10,000 for disaster relief after the unforgettable 1993 Catoosa tornado.  In 1995, after the nation was shocked to watch the Oklahoma City Bombing, Inola Casting works created the "Healing in the Heartland" pin which was able to raise $150,000. 

In response to the September 11th attack, Inola Casting Works jumped into action and raised over $400,000.  A lot of the money raised by Inola Casting Works went to Oklahoma organizations that were active in the disaster relief. 

Also, in 2003, the company created a "Support Our Troops" pin that raised $110,000 for the United Service Organization (USO).  USO President Edward Powell praised the pin as one of the "top-level donations."

The company rose from a tiny, one man operation when Cheryl Charles' father, George Freeman began the company in 1990.  Before opening the doors of Inola Casting Works, Freeman had been a freelance sculptor, working from his home's basement for many years while making contacts in the jewelry industry. 

In short, Cheryl Charles knows a little something about service.  Be it at the helm of the family's business or taking charge of the Rogers County town, Cheryl Charles is comfortable serving communities and the public interests. 

Mayor Charles spoke of not only the raw qualifications that makes a good sheriff, but also of the personality that is needed in serving the public.  Charles said that Walton's law enforcement experience qualifies him to be the Rogers County Sheriff but his genuine care for the people in Rogers County make him the best pick.  "Bringing these qualities to the Rogers County Sheriff's Department, as well as Scott's outgoing 'Guy Next Door' personality, will ensure that Rogers County's future will have integrity, honor and approachability. Have you ever seen Scott without a smile, a kind word, or a ready ear to listen to your concerns?" she rhetorically asked.

"A vote for Scott Walton is a vote for the future of Rogers County," the Mayor said.
