“This is a personal endorsement for LaRue Windham, candidate for sheriff in

Cumberland County on 3 November, 2026. As the author of 2 books, recipient of

the North Carolina Highway Patrol Purple Heart Award, guest speaker at every

highway patrol school and produced many officer survival and safety videos, I

think my background qualifies me to endorse LaRue from a professional stand

point as well as personal knowledge of him.

I have known LaRue since 1990 when I first moved to Hope Mills, North Carolina.

He was the DARE officer for the Cumberland County Schools in that area. My son

came home from school and said he was impressed with the deputy that spoke to

them that particular day. He also told me that he invited Deputy Windham to play

golf at our course in Hope Mills. LaRue realized that he knew of me so he stopped

by and our friendship began.

Before I met LaRue I realized that I knew of his father Cuyler, who was the retired

assistant director of the SBI in North Carolina. I realized that LaRue was from a

well respected family in law enforcement in North Carolina.

I have watched LaRue thru the years and have become a life- long close friend of

him and his family. I know Larue to be a man of character and honor. He is a great

father and helped raise a solid citizen, now in his first year of college. His son,

Cuyler, has just decided on his major in criminal justice so he could follow his

grandfather and father in their footsteps. His rearing of Cuyler is evident.

LaRue has excelled at every position he has ever achieved. If you take time to

review his credentials you have to realize that he is the most qualified candidate

to be Sheriff in many years. His background is strong in law enforcement as well

as the fiscal responsibility of managing a budget the size of the Sheriff’s office.

I hope you will support LaRue in his efforts to serve and protect the citizens of

Cumberland County.”
