Learning about becoming a sheriff

You'll notice I took a break from the blog but I didn't stop working to become a sheriff.

In fact, now I'm working even more and even harder than before to become a sheriff. The process is really much harder than I thought it would be. Not only does it require training, schooling and then the academy but you need to become a sort of a politician. Also, since there's only one position available for several counties your chances of becoming sheriff are slim to nil. I don't really know any secrets or shortcuts to becoming a sheriff but I'm working on it. I'm looking for advisers who might be able to give me advice or some way of becoming a sheriff that requires less work.

Let me clarify: I'm willing to put in the time but hey this is huge. The probably of successfully becoming a sheriff is slim so its hard for just anyone to become a sheriff especially without any prior experience.

How do I become a sheriff?
