My name is Chris Fairchild and I am writing in support of Mark Belew, candidate for Fluvanna County sheriff. I have known Mark many years, as he grew up in Fluvanna and his family has been here for generations. He was educated in Fluvanna, then at the University of Virginia where he eventually served as a university police officer. Mark then advanced his career and education in law enforcement through 15 years with the Albemarle Police Department, now serving as deputy U.S. marshal and detective in the Internet Crimes against Children (ICAC) division.
Mark grew up here, stayed for his education at one of America’s top universities and then grew his career within central Virginia’s largest and most advanced police department, all with the intention of bringing it back to serve the county he grew up in, where he raises his family today.
On November 4, please vote to elect Mark Belew as our county’s next sheriff.
