My name is Mark McCabe and I have been lucky enough to be the President of the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE), Local 1845 on the upper base for the past ten years. My local is an interesting balance of white-collar and blue-collar workers and politically we are just as diverse. As a local we do not often endorse a political candidate due to the diversity I described. We are breaking that stance in the current race for Camden County Sheriff by endorsing Tommy Gregory. A sizable portion of the people this union incorporates includes the civilians who work in the Security Department here on base. Many of these individuals have a lot of experience in several of the local police departments and we are also quite familiar with those persons who have done their duty serving in other Federal investigative agencies. With this base of knowledge we have come to understand that steady and positive leadership in any position such as Sheriff is crucial. By looking over the field of candidates we acknowledge that we are looking for someone who has a balance of experience, competency and understands their leadership role. We see this embodied in the way Tommy Gregory handles himself and clearly he desires to stay above the muck of politics and focuses on the job ahead, I ask those brothers and sisters of not just my local, but of the other local unions in the area to follow our lead and support Tommy Gregory in his bid for this office. Thank you for your time and I appreciate your joining me in this endeavor. Mark McCabe AFGE-1845 Local President St. Marys, GA
