"I once overheard an elected official say that campaigning was hard work and that they had 'earned' the 'right' to make the decisions they made concerning their office. There was something about that statement that bothered me and I finally put my finger on it. Their view of the office they held and their attitude toward the public was wrong. They had not earned a right, but rather had been entrusted with a responsibility. I'm asking you to entrust me with your vote in the Republican Primary and the responsibility of running your Sheriff's Office."
Randy Hanson of Vashti, Texas is running for Clay County Sheriff. He has served in law enforcement for over 15 continuous years as a jailer, patrol deputy, patrol sergeant, jail administrator, and investigator. In that time he has demonstrated fairness, good judgment, and dedication to the law and the people that he has sworn to protect.
Randy, born and raised in Clay County by his parents Jesse and Janine Hanson, grew up working with his great grandfather Tommy ‘T.F.’ Hanson and his grandfather Jacob ‘J.T.’ Jones working cattle, fixing fence, and hauling hay. He learned to keep the Lord first and to work hard. “A man that hauls hay or cuts wood for a living knows the value of a dollar,” a piece of wisdom Randy picked up at an early age from his grandfather that has stayed with him since.
Randy began school at Bellevue I.S.D. and went on to study at the University of North Texas and Midwestern State University. He began his career in law enforcement working for the Wichita County Sheriff’s Office in 1996. Since that time he has earned:
-a Master Peace Officer Certification,
-an Advanced Jailer Certification,
-a Homicide Investigator Certification,
-an Internal Affairs Investigator Certification, and
-a Special Sexual Assault Investigator Certification.
Randy is a certified Texas Commission on Law Enforcement Officer Standards and Education Instructor, and is a certified Firearms Instructor. He is a D.E.A. trained and certified Clandestine Lab Specialist, SWAT trained and certified, a member of the Texas Tactical Peace Officers’ Association, and is a member of the Texas Jail Association.
Randy Hanson has served as a law enforcement liaison to the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, and has served as liaison to local Neighborhood Watch programs.
Randy was awarded the Certificate of Recognition by Texas Senator Craig Estes for his distinguished service as a deputy of the Clay County Sheriff’s Office on May 20th, 2008.
He was also awarded a commendation for valor by Sheriff Staci Beesinger of Archer County Texas for acts of bravery performed on June 23rd, 2010.
Randy lives on a small ranch in south Clay County with his wife, Michelle, and two children, Kaity (16), and Alex (17). Randy Hanson and his wife are raising their children with the same conservative philosophy that he was brought up to believe in and support.
Alongside his father, Randy is the fourth generation to operate in Clay County under the family (Bar H) brand. Randy is a proud member of the Texas and Southwest Cattle Raisers Association, and the Southwest Clay County Neighborhood Watch program.
Randy Hanson is a sponsor of his local youth group ministry, and a founding member of the 3G (God, Guys, and Guns) Club of his church. Randy Hanson is also a competition pistol shooter and proud member of the United States Practical Shooting Association and the National Rifle Association.
In addition to the responsibilities and duties that a County Sheriff is charged with by the Texas Constitution, Randy Hanson has a plan to enhance the services provided by the Clay County Sheriff’s Office. Randy Hanson will initiate a higher standard of service that will make the citizens of Clay County safer, and raise the level of accountability in your Sheriff’s Office. A few aspects of this plan are:
1)An effective scheduling and documenting
procedure that limits unnecessary overtime
and tracks every hour billed to the citizens of
Clay County.
2)A program of enhanced tracking of sex
offenders living in the communities of
Clay County.
3)A focused drug interdiction initiative.
4)A new program for requiring that convicted
felons pay restitution back to Clay County
for the expenses of investigating the crimes
they’ve committed which will be accomplished by working closely with the District Attorney’s Office.
Vote for Randy Hanson for Sheriff in the Republican Primary!
Firm enforcement.
Fair Judgment.
Accountable Management.

My vision for the Clay County
Sheriff’s Office is simple in
concept. I will provide the
citizens of Clay County with a
Sheriff’s Office they feel
personally connected to as
truly a part of their
community. While increasing
positive interaction and
familiarity with the community
I will, however, also work to
bring the Sheriff’s Office into the
21st Century by getting the deputies job specific training, using up-to-date methods of investigation, and ensuring that our standard operating procedures adhere with all current supreme court and 5th circuit court rulings. Some might view this as traveling in two different directions at the same time, but prudent judgment, and good old fashioned common sense can easily make this a reality.
My mission is also simple in concept. If granted the responsibility and honor of being your Sheriff the Clay County Sheriff’s Office will not only get the job done, but get it done right while at the same time remembering that we are doing the job for you, the citizens. There are many pitfalls for modern law enforcement and the men and women in it.
Among them is the problem of viewing crimes from a jaded prospective. Although it is necessary to maintain an appropriate objective view of an incident, it becomes all too easy to allow that objectivity to lead to insensitivity. Our mission will go beyond enforcement of the laws to also serving the public. Each of my deputies will come to view and treat each case as if the victim were their mother, their brother, or their child.
Another is an inattention to detail when it comes to tax payer dollars. From gasoline, to inmate meals, to electric bills, to man hours my mission will be to watch each penny. Furthermore, every member of the Sheriff’s Office will be made acutely aware of the fact that it is the responsibility of all public servants to use their resources and their time wisely.
