In support of Schram for Sheriff

To the editor,

I am proud to give my full endorsement to Richard Schram for Sheriff.

As a deputy, I have personally witnessed Richard’s leadership during some of the most challenging times for the Walla Walla County Sheriff’s Office. Through changing conditions at both the county and state levels, Richard has consistently provided steady guidance, strong decision-making, and a commitment to improving the agency. There is no better choice to lead this office because Richard has already been leading from within, helping the department grow stronger through every challenge.

Richard is often the first point of contact for new deputies as they begin their careers, and he is always available—day or night—because he genuinely cares about the people who serve this county. His dedication to supporting deputies, serving the community, and strengthening the agency is unmatched.

I am confident that Richard’s proven leadership, integrity, and caring nature will continue to benefit both the Sheriff’s Office and the citizens of Walla Walla County when he is elected Sheriff.
