Sheriff Roybal kicks off re-election campaign
(EL PASO COUNTY, Colo.) — The first Hispanic sheriff of El Paso County gathered the community at the Phil Long Music Hall on Thursday, Aug. 14 to officially launch his re-election campaign.
Roybal was elected 29th sheriff of the county back in 2023, and will fight to keep his position in the general election happening next November.
Colorado Congressman Jeff Crank spoke at the event, sharing his support for the sheriff and saying he believes in the rule of the law. Roybal said he's kept his campaign promise of improving public trust, reducing victims, and combating legislation. He now looks to expand on all three in a second term.
'I'm the most qualified person to retain this office, not only because of my experience, but my passion' said Roybal. 'I have never met somebody who has more passion about keeping this community safe, my home. I was born and raised here in Colorado Springs, and I love this office.'
We know Sheriff Roybal will have at least one challenger, Greg Maxwell, who formally served within the sheriff's office in a variety of roles, including as a chaplain, reserve sergeant, and lieutenant.
