La Center resident Jason Granneman offers his support for John Horch in the race for sheriff
Editor’s note: Opinions expressed in this letter to the editor are those of the author alone and do not reflect the editorial position of ClarkCountyToday.com

This is a critical election. I ask you to support John Horch for reasons of experience, character and ability. All critical qualities to be the CEO of a multi million dollar entity. Yes, the Sheriff’s Office is just that, a multi million dollar organization with hundreds of employees.
We need a sheriff who can function in this environment with capacity to make critical decisions on day one. One who serves the entire community absent of political bias and agendas. Experience, leadership, and understanding of what the job of sheriff entails.
Thank you and stay safe.
Jason Granneman
