WHY AM I RUNNING?
Hi, my name is Mike Cullen and I am running for Sheriff because I have a deep love for our county, the Constitution and a desire to answer the call of service for our community. I grew up here in Northern Nevada and I love Storey County, the people and the history of the comstock. I have never aspired to be a politician of any sort. I did not take on this campaign lightly and I want you to know that I will work everyday to earn and maintain your trust and confidence and ensure that your Sheriffs Office is working to protect and serve you every single day on every single call.
​
I spent over 31 years in law enforcement. Most of that time was spent at the Carson City Sheriff's Office. I started out as a reserve deputy and community policing officer then promoting up through the ranks to patrol and training officer and on to detective. In 2003 I was promoted to Patrol Sergeant where I had such duties as Traffic Sergeant and Tactics Commander and in 2017 I was promoted to Administrative Sergeant where I oversaw the motorcycle traffic unit, field training program, and supervision of patrol officers during special activities, among other duties. Over the years I was a supervisor of just about every unit within the Sheriffs Office, oversaw and coordinated the budgets for those units and created new units as dictated from the needs of the community.
I believe Storey County needs a change in leadership. No ego and no over zealous police tactics. I plan to provide our Deputies with the best possible training and education so they can answer your calls for service with confidence and skill at all times, for the betterment of our community, and I need your help. Will you support me in becoming your next Sheriff?
Your trust and faith in me means the world.
Respectfully,
Mike Cullen
