To all the wonderful people who live and work in the City of Norfolk:
I was deeply humbled and honored to have been re-elected as your Sheriff for a third term in November, 2025. Your trust and confidence in me mean more than words can express, and I am profoundly grateful for the opportunity to continue serving the community that I love.
I must offer my sincere apologies for not being able to join you in person at the polls on Election Day. I was ill, and it kept me away, and I regret missing the chance to thank you face-to-face for your unwavering support.
To every voter who took the time to cast your vote and have your voice be heard—thank you. Your participation is the heartbeat of our democracy, and your support for me is a responsibility I do not take lightly.
Congratulations to all the newly elected officials across Virginia. I extend my heartfelt best wishes as you step into your new roles or resume your current role as an elected official. Please know that my office is ready to support you in any way possible.
Together, we will work to keep our neighborhoods safe, our families secure, and our community strong and thriving.
With gratitude and commitment,
Joe Baron
