Pct. 6 Constable Zack Harkness is excited to be running for reelection in the March 5 Republican Primary.
“I want to express my heartfelt appreciation for your continued support. Serving our community has been an incredible journey, and I am dedicated to building upon our shared progress for an even safer and more secure future in Precinct 6. I strongly believe in community policing, a philosophy that is rooted in open communication and partnerships between law enforcement and our community. Rest assured, I am unwavering in my commitment to this approach, and I guarantee that my office remains accessible and responsive to your needs,” Harkness said in his campaign announcement.
Harkness believes that safety is a collective responsibility, and working with community residents, he will enhance the security of neighborhoods and continue to help ensure our communities, families, and schools are safe.
“My dedication to our community’s well-being is unwavering. Throughout my career, I’ve earned certifications as a firefighter, arson investigator, hazardous materials technician, emergency medical technician, and a master peace officer. Additionally, I take great pride in having graduated from the University of Tennessee’s National Forensic Academy, a testament to my commitment to excellence and
life-long learning,” he said.
He currently also serves in the United States Coast Guard Reserve as a maritime law enforcement specialist, which he believes has given him a wealth of knowledge and experience to assure the community’s continued safety.
“As a parent myself, I understand the paramount importance of our children’s safety. Every decision I make as your Constable is guided by not only their well-being but that of your family’s as well. Together, we will create a safe environment where our children can grow, play, and flourish. My family is at the heart of my values,” he said, adding that he is proud to be married to District Attorney Jennifer Bergman, and sharing two wonderful children.
“We share a deep commitment to creating a secure and caring community, one where every family in Precinct 6 can enjoy that same sense of security. My wife and I are active members of our community and are members of First Baptist Church of Cleveland. In addition, I am a member of the Lions Club of Cleveland, VFW Post 1839, and the Board of Directors of the Greater Cleveland Chamber of Commerce. I
am dedicated to serving others in both my professional and personal life,” he said.
“As we approach the upcoming election, I humbly seek your support once more. Together, we will continue the vital work of fortifying our community and ensuring a brighter, safer future for all. I ask you to re-elect me as your Precinct 6 Constable and make our community a place we’re all proud to call home. Thank you for your trust, and I look forward to serving you for another term,” he said.
