Stronger Together
Winona County is more than just a place on a map, it’s our home. It’s where we raise our families, run our businesses, and look out for our neighbors. I am John Hazelton, and I’m proud to be running for Winona County Sheriff and to have the opportunity to serve you.
And the best part is, I’m not running alone. I am thrilled to be running alongside Paul McKay as my Chief Deputy. Together, we believe that a Sheriff’s Office shouldn’t be a fortress. It should be a partnership. To us, transparency, empathy, and approachability aren't just buzzwords, they are the foundation of a safer community. Whether you live in the heart of the city or on a quiet bluff-top farm, you deserve a Sheriff’s Office that listens first and leads with integrity. Because when we work as partners, we are Stronger Together.
I look forward to meeting you on the campaign trail, at your doorstep, and at our upcoming community Open Door sessions. Let’s get to work for Winona County.

Safety isn't something that happens by chance; it’s something we build together. For decades, I’ve served this community on the front lines, and I’ve seen firsthand that we are at our best when the Sheriff’s Office and the people work as one. But to bring this vision of transparency, modern policing, and real accountability to life, I need your help.
Your contribution to the Hazelton for Sheriff campaign goes directly toward reaching every doorstep in this county—funding the signs, the outreach, and the grassroots energy required to win.
