The War on Sheriffs & A Homeschool Victory with Sheriff Keith Swank

from The Heidi St. John Podcast · host Heidi St. John

Today we’re talking about a quiet power grab that most Americans won’t see until it’s too late: states moving to weaken—or outright override—your locally elected sheriff. Sheriffs answer to you, the voters, and that’s exactly why they’re being targeted.I’m joined by Pierce County Sheriff Keith Swank to break down Washington’s Senate Bill 5974 and what it would really do: give unelected state bodies the power to disqualify, decertify, and effectively remove sheriffs the people chose. This isn’t about “standards.” It’s about who holds authority—citizens, or bureaucrats.Also—quick update from Olympia: we recently showed up to push back on a major homeschool regulation bill, and by God’s grace, it was stopped in committee. Freedom isn’t free, and God’s people have to show up.Prime Sponsor: No matter where you live, visit the Functional Medical Institute online today to connect with Drs Mark and Michele Sherwood.
