The Times - Serving Waitsburg, Dayton and the Touchet Valley

Dear Editor,

I have served with or worked for the past six Walla Walla County Sheriff's including myself. I respect each of the other past sheriff's but in all fairness in my opinion sheriff John Turner has more qualifications and proven talents for the position of sheriff then any of the (including myself) previous sheriff's. I'm glad I voted for Sheriff Turner in the previous election as he has met all my expectations and more. We need a proven leader as sheriff who makes tough decisions regardless of political ramifications and he has proven he is up to the challenge. I ask that you join me and re-elect John Turner as Walla Walla County Sheriff. Ron Kespohl Retired Walla Walla County Sheriff Walla Walla
