In the VCDL alerts, there was only a slight mention of a VCDL endorsed candidate for Prince William County Sheriff, Jim Fotis. I found out that Fotis is at a disadvantage during the open primary on Tuesday because he entered the race late. Therefore, he does not have the exposure and recognition that the remaining two candidates have. In an attempt to raise awareness of this relative unknown candidate, I thought I would post information here for Prince William County, Manassas City, and Manassas Park to review.
All three candidates for the office are Republican, but I've done a couple hours of research on Mr. Fotis and found some compelling information I thought I would share here in hopes of increasing his exposure amongst pro-rights minded individuals.
Jim Fotis is a retired New York City police officer. He is also the Executive Director of the LEAA (Law Enforcement Alliance of America), which is based right here in VA (Springfield to be exact). LEAA is an organization for the expansion of the right to self-defense, not only where off-duty, retired, or former LEO are involved, but with the private citizen as well.

Mr. Fotis is also a member of "Help Save Manassas", which is a recently formed chapter of the HelpSaveVirginia network. This organization is dedicated to helping preserve our communities and protect them from the effects related to the presence of illegal aliens in these communities.Does LEAA support civilian Right-To-Carry?
Absolutely! Part of LEAA's core mission is telling the truth from the law enforcement perspective, that gun control is NOT crime control. A simple but not well-known corollary is that honest civilians with firearms are no threat to law enforcement, they are a threat and deterrent to violent crime.
LEAA has a long (10 year+) very active history in supporting civilian right-to-carry. In fact, LEAA has actively supported passage of right to carry in nearly every single state that has adopted RTC reform in the past decade.
