Marc Bell for Sheriff

Honor, Integrity and Service are not just words on a sign, it’s how I live my life. I volunteered today at the Salvation Army serving lunch at the Greater All Nations Senior Luncheon.

To the People of Sangamon County,

First and foremost, I want to thank all of the voters who showed up and continued to support me.

It was not just humbling, it was a clear signal. A signal that the people of Sangamon County are crying out for change.

When you look at the results further, the message becomes even clearer: more than two-thirds of voters chose a candidate who represented a new direction for this office. That’s not a
coincidence. That’s a mandate.

For more than 40 years, I have served in law enforcement with integrity and honor. I stepped up because I believe Sangamon County deserves leadership that reflects values like accountability,
transparency, and professionalism.

So after careful reflection and consideration, I am announcing that I am re-entering the race for Sangamon County Sheriff. This race will not be decided by party labels. It will be decided by neighbors, families, and communities coming together around a shared belief that we can and must do better.

If we are going to bring real change to Sangamon County, it is going to take all of us. And I am ready to lead. Are you with me?

My statement on today's sentencing of former Sangamon County deputy:

As someone who has spent more than 40 years in law enforcement protecting the citizens of Illinois, I know what happened to Sonya Massey should have never happened.

Being a law enforcement officer carries a responsibility to protect life and treat everyone with dignity and respect. When that responsibility is violated, accountability is not optional.

While no verdict and sentence can undo the harm caused, today's decision I hope brings some much-needed closure to the Massey family. As Sheriff, I will always insist our systems do better.
