Background:

Hadwick is a farmer, small business owner, and teacher. She was Deputy Director of Modoc County’s Office of Emergency Services at the local sheriff’s department for almost 5 years. She is a former County 4-H Coordinator through UC Davis, and teaches a Public Safety class at Modoc High School. She also served as president of her local school board.

Public Safety Platform:

Hadwick’s platform states the following: “Our officers are asked to do more with less. They are on the front lines daily, protecting our communities and keeping us safe. Yet, Sacramento politicians hand criminals get-out-of-jail-free cards and cut funding from law enforcement. Heather backs the blue 100%. Heather will go to Sacramento to ensure career criminals are held accountable, and our law enforcement departments have the resources they need to keep us safe.”

Hadwick is endorsed by the California Association of Highway Patrolmen and numerous current and former sheriffs.
