Welcome! I am David Lequire,
I am very excited to announce my candidacy for Bath County
Sheriff in 2022. I have worked with law enforcement for more
than twenty years.
Several members of my family served in the Pike County
Kentucky Sheriff's Office, My Sister Phyllis Lequire Maples, My
Father Herbert Lequire Jr,
And Sister Tammy Lequire Hager.
My background is unique,
I would like to bring my experience and
skills as an aviator, flight instructor and UAS pilot to the
office of Sheriff of Bath County. Aviation technology has helped
other rural county law enforcement offices track down criminals,
lost children and discover illegal drug activity that are the scourge of our
communities. It is time to bring 21st century technology to Bath
county law enforcement. I have over 20 years experience in
marketing, management, and business ownership. I believe it's
important to have a sheriff with a positive based management
style that edifies and fully utilizes the knowledge and
strengths of the staff. And a positive, enthusiastic, supportive
sheriff with an impartial compass. That is one of the many
reasons why I am running for Bath County Sheriff. I am confident
my background, leadership ability, is exactly the direction the
Bath County Sheriff's office needs. With your support I can
bring my skills to this important office.
Thank you in advance for your support in November!
Sincerely, Dave
Recommendations for Sheriff of
Bath County
My name is Robert Coffman. I retired from the Columbus,
Ohio Division of Police in 2010, after 31 years of
service. During my last nineteen years in the
department, I was assigned to the SWAT Team. I have
known Dave Lequire for over 16 years. Dave has always
been a pro police person, and is one of the most honest
and trustworthy persons I know. I believe that Dave
Lequire would be a very honorable person to be elected
to the Bath County, Kentucky Sheriff’s Office. He would
bring hard work, Integrity, and Commitment to the
sheriff’s office.

When I bought my new light sport
airplane I asked for a recommendation for an instructor
who could give me transition training. The manufacturer
recommended David Lequire.
I have been a pilot for 50 years
and have had many instructors in the Air Force as well
as civilian aviation. David was one of the best. His
people skills and professionalism that I observed since
becoming friends are exceptional. Whether teaching new
pilots or working with clients related to his business
he is generous with his time and patience. No matter
what he takes on I have found David to be an honest,
hard working manager.
David Lequire has my highest
recommendation for Sheriff of Bath county.

I am
Charles Johnson, and I am a
retired State Trooper and a
retired military police officer
with the Kentucky Army National
Guard. I have known Dave LeQuire
for the better part of the last
decade and a half. I find him to
be a decent, hardworking and
honorable man who would serve
Bath County citizens well as
sheriff. I would trust Dave with
anything. As matter of fact, I
have trusted Dave with my very
life as he has been instrumental
in my aviation activities. He
has maintained my aircraft and I
have come to trust his word
without hesitation. He will be
the same kind of sheriff with an
honest eye to detail and
unwavering dedication to his
responsibilities. My 50 years in
the criminal justice system (27
in the state police and
twenty-three years as a
prosecutor) have enabled me to
judge the character of a man. As
such, I find Dave LeQuire to be
a person worthy of our respect
and support.

CITIZENS OF BATH COUNTY,
I met Dave Lequire several years
ago while looking for a flight instructor for my Light
sport aircraft. I not only found a dedicated flight
instructor, I found a friend. Dave’s honesty, integrity
and leadership skills became apparent very soon. He
treated me with respect in all our business dealings and
went above and beyond the expectations I had when
looking for an instructor. Dave has a personality that
is very suited to being a sheriff. Bath Country would be
well served with a Sheriff Lequire. He will be honest in
his fiscal duties and surround himself with people of
high integrity, because that’s the type person he is. I
trusted Dave with my life and I would trust him to
handle any situation, be it law enforcement or serving
the community in the myriad of ways required of the high
sheriff. I was in law enforcement for 30 years and would
have been comfortable answering any call with Dave by my
side. Get to know him...you will find that easy to do. A
sheriff is a leader. Dave Lequire is a leader.

Approximately 15 years ago, I was introduced to Dave
Lequire and I was told that he was the local aviation
instructor for training in this area. A couple years
later, after talking to several other individuals who
had trained and worked with Dave, I chose to utilize
Dave Lequire as my flight instructor. I found Dave to be
well versed in his knowledge of flight rules and
regulations and he was an excellent instructor who
showed great attention to detail. Dave became a good
friend over the years and he was always willing to
assist me in any way he could.
Having spent
over thirty-two (32) years with the WV State Police, I
believe I have learned how to judge a person’s
character. I can say that Dave Lequire is someone of
good moral character and I truly believe he would be an
excellent candidate for the Sheriff of Bath County.
Having worked with many different law enforcement
agencies and sheriffs throughout my career, I believe
Dave would be dedicated to the citizens of Bath County
and that the county would benefit from his pro-law
enforcement attitude. As all pilots know, you are
putting complete faith and trust in someone when you are
flying. I have done just that with Dave Lequire and I
would trust him in the same manner if he were elected
sheriff. I would urge the citizens of Bath County to
support Dave Lequire for Sheriff.

Dave Lequire is a person who
knows his community and truly cares about its future. I
have known Dave Lequire and Trish, for 15 years through
my endeavor to fly powered parachutes. I have seen and
heard how his neighbors and customers respect and treat
him. Whether it's an issue concerning flying, friends
and family, or other issues, Dave has the facts before
he offers his opinions. He is straight-forward and tells
it like it is. As an aviator and mentor, I know of
nobody with Dave’s expertise and experience and I would
and have literally trusted him with my life. As a
businessman he exudes honesty and fair-dealing and I
wouldn’t think of using anyone else.
Bath County would be proud and lucky to have Dave
Lequire as their next sheriff.
