Santa Rosa Sheriff Bob Johnson and Okaloosa Sheriff Eric Aden have endorsed Nathan Boyles in his campaign for State Representative in District 3.

Sheriff Johnson emphasized Boyles’ pro-law enforcement stance and willingness to work with Governor DeSantis on public safety initiatives.

  • “Nathan Boyles is a pro-law enforcement conservative who will work with Governor DeSantis to invest in public safety and stand with the professionals in law enforcement to keep Florida a beacon of freedom and prosperity nationwide,” Johnson said.

Aden highlighted the importance of public safety leadership in Tallahassee. “We need leaders in Tallahassee who understand that public safety is the cornerstone upon which Florida’s success is built,” he said. “I’m proud to stand with him in his bid to represent District 3 in Tallahassee and I look forward to working with him to keep Florida the most law enforcement-friendly state in the nation”

Boyles, a former Okaloosa County Commissioner, expressed gratitude for the endorsements and praised the sheriffs’ commitment to community safety.

  • “Our local Sheriffs and the brave men and women in law enforcement work day and night to ensure our community is safe. Both Sheriff Johnson and Sheriff Aden’s commitment to public safety and professionalism is second to none. Because of their selflessness and bravery, we have a safe and secure community for all,” Boyles said.

He currently operates Adams Sanitation, which has grown from two trucks and two employees to over 40 trucks and 112 employees, serving nearly 30,000 customers in Northwest Florida.

Prior to his current role, Boyles founded and ran The Main Street Land Title Company until 2019. His public service experience includes chairing the Okaloosa Library Cooperative, the Okaloosa Walton Transportation Planning Organization, and the Crestview Community Redevelopment Agency.
