The ballots are in the mail; so it is time to make a decision on who should for be our next sheriff. It was a difficult decision because those running have a lot to offer.

I have decided to endorse Brent Johnson for sheriff.

I have worked with all the candidates and consider several friends. I reviewed their qualifications and statements and feel Brent is the right choice to replace retiring Sheriff Bill Cumming. He has been in law enforcement for 35 years and been a supervisor, of police officers, for 13 years.

Integrity is an essential qualification for sheriff and Brent has it and the respect of his fellow officers. Brent will work with the community in providing quality and responsive law enforcement to San Juan County.

If you haven’t already done so go to brentjohnsonforsheriff.blogspot.com or just go talk to him.
