Dear editor,

I am writing today to share my support for Shawn Becker for Wood County Sheriff.

As a Wood County resident, and an emergency responder, Shawn is the candidate that I want to lead our Sheriffs Office.  He has the experience and leadership to lead the department in a positive direction during a time when many challenges face local law enforcement.

I believe that he will do an excellent job of supporting the deputies who protect and serve us every day, while tackling the ever-growing drug epidemic.  As the current patrol captain for the department, he understands the challenges faced by the department, and I believe he will be able to come up with creative solutions to the complex problems.

I am proud to support Shawn Becker for Sheriff, and would like to remind everyone to vote in the upcoming primary on Aug. 14.  Absentee ballot voting is also open, and information can be found by going to www.myvote.wi.gov
