Sheriff Chad Hawkins

I’m the only candidate who has actually led departments, managed agency-wide teams, and delivered for the citizens of Gaston County. I’ve done the job, not talked about it. I’m running on what I’ve already done and will continue to deliver to the citizens of Gaston County.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the strong, compassionate, and dedicated mothers in our community. Your courage and care inspire us every day.

This National Correctional Officers Week, we honor the dedicated men & women who serve behind the walls, keeping our facilities secure. Their work is demanding, often unseen, but absolutely essential. I’m proud to stand with our correctional officers.

I’m proud to announce my campaign for re-election as Sheriff! Serving our community has been the honor of my life, & I’m ready to keep fighting for a safer Gaston, defending your rights, supporting law enforcement, & putting Gaston First. Always. HawkinsForGaston.com #ncpol

It was a great night at the Gaston County GOP Lincoln-Reagan-Douglass Dinner, celebrating conservative values and the future of our country! Proud to stand with leaders who put America First!

Today, we honor the heroes of December 7, 1941 — a day that will forever live in infamy. Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day serves as a solemn reminder of the sacrifices made by so many to defend our nation and secure our freedoms.

It’s an honor to stand alongside President Trump to uphold the values of law and order. Protecting the citizens of Gaston County is my top priority, and I’m committed to ensuring our community remains safe and secure. @realDonaldTrump

“I can’t believe y’all came all the way up here” When apprehended by our deputies, a registered sex offender who fled to Michigan to evade justice stated those words. Great work from the men and women at the Gaston County Sheriff’s Office.

Stating the obvious on a rainy Thursday. Please drive safely.

Today is National POW/MIA Recognition Day. Prisoners of war and those missing in action in our country are heroes. We are still a free nation because of their sacrifice. We honor their service today and every day, and we promise never to forget them. Never forget #powmia

Today marks 21 years since one of the most tragic attacks in our country's history. Never forget the victims, brave first responders, & the innocent Americans who lost their lives too soon. May God bless those hurting today, our men & women in uniform, & may God bless the USA.
