Here's What People Are Saying:

"Frank Leonbruno will make a great Sheriff. He is committed and dedicated to the agency. I have worked with him my entire career and he will do a great job. He is surrounded by a great staff and support system. I urge all to vote for Leonbruno for Sheriff."

Carl Dondorfer

"I’ve know Sheriff Leonbruno for many years. He is one of the most kind, compassionate and friendly people you’ll ever meet.. He always treats people with the utmost respect which is a testament to his parents who were also very kind hearted and loving people.
As an elected official, he does have a job to do. The results will not be accepted by everyone. However, I know Sheriff Leonbruno is being 100% transparent in his communication to the community he serves. He’s not someone to “cover up” something or purposely disrespect anyone.  If you ever have the opportunity to speak to him, I am certain you will see the “person” he is and not the “title” many may perceive.
Keep up the good work Sheriff Leonbruno !!!" 

Tim Valentine

"He has an awesome attitude toward his dedication, commitment and service to citizens of his community. He has a vast experience of knowing how, when, where to best handle the many situations he has seen, lived and served.  He is a man of character!  Who could ask for a more qualified individual?  Frank you have my entire Families votes!"

"Frank is a great leader, mentor, and public servant. He cares about the people that he works with and he is a family man. He is loyal to the Lake County Sheriff's office and the staff and he is a dedicated citizen to Lake County."

Cynthia Brooks

"I had the pleasure of attending the FBI Academy with Frank. He was a consummate professional who represented himself with great distinction and dedication to the law enforcement profession. He is the kind of person that I would build a winning team around."

Capt. Erik Hernandez, New York City Police Department

"I have known Frank since we were kids growing up in Fairport Harbor. He is an honest, caring person who not only is a great Sheriff, but a great friend, father, husband, and overall great person!"

Jim Shelby

"Obviously, many people feel as I do about Frank's qualifications and integrity. It doesn't matter who will run against him, he will be the superior choice. I don't have a long-time personal friendship with Frank. It started purely professional as a media relationship, but it quickly advanced to a friendship because anyone who knows him becomes his friend! Frank will continue our county's tradition of outstanding sheriffs. I am very excited that he has announced his candidacy, and he has my family's full support."

Ray Somich, Spirit Media

"Frank has outstanding character, is a true family man with a caring heart. His leadership in Lake County has already been proven. He will take care of the community and businesses, and continue to make Lake County a safe and desired place to live. Frank Leonbruno for Sheriff!"

Gretchen Sines

"I have known Frank since 1995 when we attended police academy together and I can say that he is a true leader and a professional in law enforcement. He has brought so much change to the Lake County Sheriff’s Office and I would expect him to continue to lead in the same capacity as Sheriff."

Denise Deebs

"Frank is the ultimate family man and professional. I’ve known Frank since our elementary days at St. Anthony of Padua School in Fairport Harbor. His first job assignment in the police force was in the 7th grade under the supervision of Sister Elaine. He was the Safety Patrol Guard. We knew his fate was sealed. He has served the citizens of Lake County with integrity, honesty and outstanding knowledge of the judiciary system. His knowledge and experience that he brings with him as a leader to the Lake County Sheriff Dept. for the past 30 years continues to ensure the safety of everyone in Lake County. I am very proud of our people in Blue and what Frank represents. We would be honored to have Frank as our Sheriff for Lake County."
