As St. Tammany Parish looks to turn the page on a decade of leadership instability, Scott P. Illing stands alone as the only candidate for sheriff offering an exceptional blend of elite federal vetting, diverse multi-agency experience, and lifelong commitment.
Scott Illing has been vetted by the FBI, the Department of Justice, and the United States Senate. In April 2018, President Donald Trump selected Illing to serve as the U.S. Marshal for the Eastern District of Louisiana. This appointment required a rigorous, top-tier background investigation by the FBI and DOJ, followed by a formal confirmation by the United States Senate. He is the only candidate whose character and professional record have been audited and approved at the highest levels of the American government.
At a time when the Sheriff’s Office needs to restore public trust, he offers a standard of conduct verified at the highest levels of government.
