Sheriff Dave Favro Announces Re-Election Campaign for Clinton County Sheriff
PLATTSBURGH, NY — Clinton County Sheriff Dave Favro has officially announced his campaign for re-election, seeking another term to continue his long-standing commitment to public safety, strong leadership, and service to the residents of Clinton County.
Having served as sheriff since 2002, Favro says his decision to seek re-election comes down to one simple reason: the work is not finished.
“Serving as Sheriff of Clinton County has been one of the greatest honors of my life,” said Favro. “I’m running for re-election because the job is not done. My passion for this work remains as strong as ever, and my dedication to the men and women of the Sheriff’s Office, as well as to the residents and guests of Clinton County, is unwavering. Public safety is not something you walk away from when you still know you have more to give.”
Throughout his tenure, Favro has built a reputation for steady leadership, accessibility, and a hands-on commitment to the safety and well-being of Clinton County’s communities. His experience spans law enforcement operations, emergency response coordination, corrections oversight, and collaborative public safety partnerships throughout the North Country.
Favro says this campaign is focused not only on maintaining public safety, but continuing to strengthen the Sheriff’s Office for the future.
“Our deputies, corrections officers, dispatchers, and support staff work tirelessly every day in challenging environments,” Favro said. “They deserve leadership that understands the realities of this profession, supports them fully, and continues building an office our community can be proud of.”
Campaign priorities include:
Keeping Clinton County communities safe through proactive law enforcement
Supporting recruitment, retention, and professional development within the Sheriff’s Office
Strengthening correctional operations and staff support
Expanding partnerships for mental health crisis response and emergency preparedness
Continuing transparent, accountable leadership for Clinton County residents
Supporters say Favro’s decades of experience and commitment to service make him uniquely qualified to continue leading the Sheriff’s Office during a time when public safety leadership matters most.
“Sheriff Favro has dedicated his life to protecting this community,” campaign supporters said. “His experience, integrity, and commitment to both his staff and the people of Clinton County are exactly why he should continue serving as sheriff.”
