Video: Interview with Ada County Sheriff Candidate Doug Traubel

By • October 9, 2024

Idaho Dispatch had the opportunity recently to interview Doug Traubel, a Constitution Party of Idaho candidate for Ada County Sheriff.

Traubel is challenging Republican incumbent Matt Clifford for the position. Clifford is running in his first election as sheriff after being appointed to the position in 2021 after the sudden departure of then Sheriff Steve Bartlett.

In 2021, Traubel was among a number of candidates who applied to the Ada County Republican Central Committee to replace Bartlett. Traubel was chosen as the top pick by the central committee but the Ada County Commissioners voted 2 to 1 to pick Matt Clifford for the position.

In the 2024 sheriff’s race in Ada County, there is no Democrat candidate for sheriff. Traubel and Clifford will be the only two candidates listed on the ballot.

You can watch our interview with Traubel below. Idaho Dispatch will be reaching out to Clifford for an interview.

  1. We’ve known Doug Traubel since he ran for Sheriff during the 2022 primaries. What you see on this video is what you get in person: A Constitutional Sheriff who deeply understands the law; who will defend the people against both crime and government tyranny; and a man of great compassion and integrity. Doug knows right from wrong and will fight both for right and YOUR RIGHTS!

    PLEASE Vote for Doug Traubel as your next Ada County Sheriff! Tough times are coming. Ada County, adjacent counties, and all of Idaho need a Constitutional Sheriff with an effective reserve program and posse; well-trained deputies; a clear-eyed and strong work ethic; deep knowledge of the law and the US and Idaho Constitutions; and utmost respect for his own deputies and the people they serve.

    Doug Traubel is the Sheriff Ada County needs to weather the coming storms.

  2. This is a verification that what Doug Traubel said is correct. Matt Clifford told me he had a lot of respect for the men who assaulted the public at the Ada County Couthouse. I saw one Ada County Sheriff grab a citizen’s wrist and throw him to the ground. He was just walking past him. I saw another grab a woman by the neck. I know of another man with Parkinson’s disease that they targeted. A BDP office pushed him into an AdaCounty officer. The man tried to stabilize himself and was charged with 3 felonies. He did nothing. Matt Clifford said they did a great job. Vote Doug Traubel for the public’s safety.

    1. Thanks for the reply, Jackie. Did you come forward to law enforcement and file a statement, and order to be a witness for those citizens who were wronged?
