The Republican Primary for County Attorney on August 4th will decide who will be your prosecutor for the next four years and I want you to have the facts.
The County Attorney’s position is the most powerful position in the county, in terms of law enforcement. The attorney elected to that office controls crime prosecution in the county, including burglary, rape, murder, and serious drug crimes. It is extremely complex. A poorly run county attorney’s office could mean crime on the street with police who are demoralized because their cases go nowhere. Look around the country. You need a strong prosecutor.
And for the record, my wife and I have lived in Hays since 2014. We sold our house on July 2, 2020. We are currently looking for another house in the area. You can confirm this with my realtor, Patty Stull with Coldwell Banker, who has given me permission to use her name. We purchased a second home in Kansas City to help family. It’s that simple. The family situation has thankfully improved, leaving me the time I need to run the Ellis County Attorney's Office.
My opponent, Robert Anderson, Jr. knows this (because I told him), but it doesn’t help his campaign because calling me an absent county attorney is the only issue he can campaign on. He has never been a prosecutor or written a budget for public office. He’s nice enough, but being nice does not get the job done for the people of Ellis County.
I can run the office on day one, hire motivated attorneys and staff, and start getting work done for Ellis County residents. I want to help the victims of crime in this county.
Vote for me, Chris Lyon, on August 4th, the only candidate who has prosecutorial experience (four years as Assistant Ellis County Attorney, current Hays Municipal Prosecutor and current Trego County Attorney), has written budgets, and will save taxpayers over $100,000 in the first year alone. Thank you for your vote.
Chris Lyon, candidate for Ellis County Attorney
