Nineteen North Carolina sheriffs are backing John McCain.
The sheriffs of some of the largest counties — including Wake, Forsyth, Guilford and Johnston counties — are co-chairs and vice chairs of the N.C. Sheriffs for McCain group.
Retired Randolph County Sheriff Litchard Hurley, who heard McCain speak at the National Sheriffs Association meeting in Indianapolis today, said he was impressed by McCain's stance on crime and illegal immigration.
"He pledged that he would do everything he could to keep people from coming to the United States to break the law," he said.
Hurley and sheriffs B.J. Barnes of Guilford County and Steve Bizzell of Johnston are co-chairmen of the group. Vice chairs include Donnie Harrison of Wake and Bill Schatzman of Forsyth.
