Tarrant County Sheriff Bill Waybourn Ad

October 15, 2024

Today, the Lone Star Project will begin a digital media campaign in Tarrant County featuring a video ad showing the profound incompetence of MAGA Republican Sheriff Bill Waybourn and his dependence upon extremist political backers to remain in office. The video ad can be viewed below.

MAGA Republican Sheriff Bill Waybourn’s incompetence as a major urban county sheriff is well documented and has been covered widely by media in recent weeks. His longtime membership and alliance with extremist political views and organizations such as the Constitutional Sheriffs Association and Defend Texas Liberty place him far outside the views and sensibilities of mainstream Tarrant County families.

The claims made in the ad are cited and confirmed below and demonstrate that Bill Waybourn’s radical views and record of failure justify the Lone Star Project’s judgement that he is the worst Sheriff in Texas.
