“Jay Mitchell understands the realities that officers face in communities like ours”—Sheriff Max Saunders
Sheriff Max Sanders of Lawrence County announced his endorsement today of Jay Mitchell in the race for Alabama Attorney General. First elected in 2018, Sheriff Sanders is widely regarded in State law-enforcement circles, with his tenure marked by improvements to public-safety services in Lawrence County.
