Klickitat County Undersheriff Tim Neher has announced that he will run for the sheriff’s position in the upcoming 2022 election. In a statement announcing his candidacy, Neher said the Sheriff’s Office is facing many challenges to overcome, including over half of the deputies in the department being able to retire, the law enforcement field becoming more challenging, and a growing Klickitat County population leading to increasing calls for service. Neher has worked for the Klickitat County Sheriff’s Office since January 2010, with ten years as a patrol deputy, about 18 months as a detective, and the last 7 months as Undersheriff. Prior to entering law enforcement, Neher says he worked in the corporate world in various supervisory and management positions.
