Mark Crider is Best for Sheriff

 


Dear Editor,

I’m a deputy’s wife who enthusiastically endorses Mark Crider for Sheriff, because he is a kind, man of integrity with unparalleled law enforcement experience.

I was immediately impressed with Mark Crider, because he is a good guy. He’s nice, humble, likeable and realistic. Crider grew up in a small town, and, like me, was drawn to Walla Walla County to return to a small community.

My impression over time, is that he is intelligent, fiscally responsible and has always done the right thing in his personal and professional life. If you google, “Mark Crider,” articles will come up about him standing up to a senior leader in the FBI for what is right, and, ultimately, he was awarded for demonstrating strong integrity despite adversity.

All of the aforementioned qualities about Mark Crider’s character are positive to have in a Sheriff. However, it’s those combined with his prior work experience in the FBI, and previous military background, that sets him up to be the best candidate, by far. His law enforcement resume is incredible, and he is a huge asset to the Sheriff’s Office because of it.


Each Sheriff needs to make critical decisions, in an instant, without relying on his team. There will be times when he will get a phone call, at home, in the middle of the night and he will need to make a judgement call. Mark Crider’s vast law enforcement experience means he’s equipped to make the tough calls that the role requires. I appreciate that as it will help take the burden off our hard-working deputies and help to make our community safer.


Mark Crider already is a leader in the department as the Undersheriff and is well-respected internally. To me, he’s the man ready to make a difference in the department immediately. He understands the department’s vision and operations and is ready to continue to move the Sheriff’s Office forward.

The internal culture in the Walla Walla Sheriff’s Office has never been better. The fact that the overwhelming majority of the deputies are voting for Mark Crider as Sheriff hopefully speaks to both their unity and their belief in his abilities. I, too, believe Mark Crider is the best of the best and would make an excellent Sheriff. Please join me in voting for Mark Crider for Sheriff.
