Freddie Sanders: Absolutely not. If Scott Peebles is a candidate in the primary, I’m gonna run as hard against him as I’d run against anyone else. I couldn’t do that to the people that are supporting me. I would be lying to them, and I’m not going to do that. That was one of the things Sylvia Cooper asked me, and other people have asked me, and I would be lying to the people, and I wouldn’t do that. I would not do that. If Sheriff Strength was to change his mind and say I’m going to run again, I would drop out in a heartbeat
MS: What do you say to all the rumors about you getting in to burnish your Republican bonafides?
FS: What happened was, and he’s a friend of mine, Austin Rhodes… I talk to him when he wants to talk to me, but he is in Scott’s corner and he believes, he always looks at strategy and planning and, to tell you the truth, I’m not that devious and he believes that’s what has happened. And I told him that. I will not get out. I will not get out if Scott wins, it Ronnie wins…
MS: Were you waiting on Sheriff Strength to retire so you could run?
FS: That is a good question. I guess subconsciously I was waiting. Because I missed it. I don’t go 10 minutes a day without thinking about that sheriff’s department. It’s almost like being a military brat. I’m a sheriff’s department brat, I just love it that much. I did not want this opportunity to go by. But that is a good question. As long as Sheriff Webster was the sheriff, and his heir [Sheriff Strength] was in the position, I would never have run. But now he’s been the sheriff and he’s had a great career and I feel like if I don’t take this opportunity I will regret it. And I will tell you who calls me every day cussin’ me out… Sheriff Strength… jokingly.You Might Also Like:
Sanders Answers the Big Question
We asked Freddie Sanders after his formal announcement Monday to clear up some things.
Metro Spirit: Widely circulated rumor is that you’ll drop out.
Freddie Sanders: Absolutely not. If Scott Peebles is a candidate in the primary, I’m gonna run as hard against him as I’d run against anyone else. I couldn’t do that to the people that are supporting me. I would be lying to them, and I’m not going to do that.
