"People have to feel like they're respected and listened to, and that's an issue of leadership," Cameron said.
Cameron has also said Zylak has not done enough to stop the county's rising drug trade and gang activity. If he were sheriff, Cameron said, he would take more preventive steps -- such as investing in community policing and collaborating with other law enforcement agencies -- rather than simply responding to crimes that arise.
Zylak countered that the sheriff's office has made major strides in its ability to prevent crime during his four years. He has added 16 deputies and major crimes have decreased 14 percent, he said.
"I do think my record speaks for itself," he said.
In the final month of the campaign, Cameron said his challenge will be to make his face and issues known to as many people as possible so he can overcome the advantage Zylak holds as the incumbent.
"You just have to get in front of as many people as you can, whenever and however," he said.
