Former Park County Sheriff’s Office Undersheriff Monte Gore took to the steps of the old courthouse in Fairplay Oct. 7 to announce his bid to run for Park County sheriff in 2018.
Speaking to a gathering of supporters, who were holding campaign signs, Gore said to the group, “Many of you have expressed your concerns with me about the current administration. It’s time for a change. It’s time for integrity and honesty through transparency and accountability. It’s time to reestablish trust with the public.”
Gore related a number of reasons that he feels he is qualified to be in charge of the county’s sheriff’s office, including 36 years in law enforcement, his active role in the community and partnering with other county government projects.

Former Park County Undersheriff Monte Gore, who resigned his post after a 2016 shootout that left a suspect and a deputy dead, is now running to replace his former boss next year.
Gore’s decision is the latest in a series of controversies — including a pair of federal lawsuits — following the Feb. 24, 2016, gunfight in Bailey that happened during an attempted eviction.
