Election
Randy Kalbaugh: Sheriff Questionnaire 4 (Community)
I plan on communicating with the public through the newspaper and a county run web site. I plan on informing the public of an area we responded to, nature of the call, if a report was taken, if an arrest was made, and if charges are being filed. At the end of the month, I will have the number of calls we went to, charges, arrests, charges filed, and how many the prosecuting attorney filed charges on. I want the public informed and up to date on what the Sheriff’s Office is doing.
James Morgan: Sheriff Questionnaire 4 (Community)
I will use local newspapers and social media to keep citizens informed. I believe in being transparent with the community.
Danny Boyd: Sheriff Questionnaire 4 (Community)
I am usually available to speak with the public during normal business hours. I receive multiple phone calls day and night. I utilize social media including Facebook and the Barry County Sheriff’s Office website. I also currently use the neighborhood watch programs in which to communicate with the public.

Kyle Troutman: Join us for Friday’s forum
Have you ever lost sleep from a mixture of excitement and anxiety? Such has been the case for me the past couple nights as my mind has raced and raced in anticipation of this Friday, when the Cassville Democrat will host its first political forum under Troutman Media LLC ownership. At 7 p.m.
Gary Schad: Northern Commissioner Questionnaire 1
To continue the job I started, which is to keep Barry County moving in the right direction. For those of you who may not know prior to me joining the commission the county was experiencing a reduction in sales tax due to the 2008 recession where even services and staff were eliminated to maintain a balanced budget. I’ve been able to work with the other office holders to pull Barry County out of that deficit and improve the budget to where we are now actually able to fully run the county and even put back some for reserves. I’d like to ensure this continues and our county is able to thrive.
Gary Klossing: Gary Schad: Northern Commissioner Questionnaire 1
After speaking to several people close to me, I was convinced that the taxpayers or citizens of Barry County need to know where their money is being spent and why. There were questions about the Jail purchase/build that the taxpayers were left in the dark about.
James Morgan: Sheriff Questionnaire 3 (Administration)
I am currently the Captain with the Delaware County Sheriff’s Office which is an administrative role. I assist the sheriff with the budget and order vehicles for the department. I also attended the Sheriff’s Academy in Edmond, Oklahoma.
Randy Kalbaugh: Sheriff Questionnaire 3 (Administration)
It does not matter if the budget is $400 or 4 million. You figure what is needed and where it is needed and that is where the money gets spent. I do not plan on wasting the county’s money. I intend to be surrounded by knowledgeable staff who already have a lot of money management experience. Most work at Barry County Sheriff’s Office already. Being fiscally responsible is something I take very seriously.
