A Vote for Schram

To the editor,

I’ve known Richard Schram for over 11 years now. I was with the Sheriff’s Office from November 2014 until December 2022 when I retired as Chief Civil Deputy. I watched Richard from the time he was a patrol deputy, to a sergeant and then to become the Chief Criminal Deputy. Richard has worked as the Chief Criminal Deputy under the last two Sheriffs and has developed outstanding leadership abilities. Richard knows how to run the agency at its best and always takes into consideration the needs of the community for whom he serves.

Richard has strived to bring the best training to the deputies and to make the Sheriff’s Office the professional law enforcement agency that it is today. I am confident that as Sheriff, Richard will continue on this path bringing to the residents of Walla Walla County the optimal Sheriff’s Office that they deserve.

I wholeheartedly endorse Richard Schram for Sheriff of Walla Walla County. Vote for Richard and you will be pleased with the results.
