To the Editor:

Election time is upon us, and we are about to choose a sheriff for the next four years here in Grant County.

I strongly encourage everyone, especially those of you who are still undecided to attend one of the meet and greet Todd McKinley community meetings published in this week’s paper. You will find a man that will give straight answers. A man who strongly believes and lives our Constitution. A Christian family man who has a wonderful wife and seven children.

In Todd McKinley, you will find a man who will have his priorities focused on the administration of the Grant County Sheriff’s Office without distraction.

This is a man who carried a lost and disabled man out of the woods on his back.

A man who gave little or no thought to his own safety as he went door to door and evacuated folks who were in peril in our terrible fire.

Get to know Todd McKinley. He will carry the weight of the responsibility of our next sheriff with the same dedication and enthusiasm as he has shown countless times in the past.

So many times when there is a call for help, a fire or a young person just needing some positive guidance, Todd McKinley is there to serve. Serve and protect without prejudice or favoritism.

It is time for a new leader in the Grant County Sheriff’s Office.

Vote for positive leadership. Todd McKinley for Sheriff, 2016.
