To the editor: To my fellow SM天地论坛 County citizens, as your sheriff, with nearly 40 years of professional law enforcement experience, I have worked alongside countless law enforcement leaders, judges and soon I鈥檒l be working with my fifth district attorney.
I hope you will join me in voting for Mike Thurston as our next DA.
Mike is in my opinion the clear choice at a time when we want to make sure our community remains a safe one. Mike shared with me his vision for the office,聽and his thoughts on collaborative leadership with law enforcement. I am convinced that Mike Thurston is the best leader to take a great District Attorney鈥檚 Office to an even higher level.
Mike has demonstrated his willingness to tackle the biggest challenges such as when he rolled up his sleeves and fought alongside the Legislature to change the constitution and give judges more authority in bail consideration. Today, public safety can be specifically considered when setting bail. Mike fought for you then. He will continue to do it every day.
Mike will put citizens first, protect victims and hold criminals accountable. I find him to be the strong prosecutor and leader we all want working for us. Please join me by voting 鈥淢ike Thurston鈥 for SM天地论坛 County district attorney.
鈥 Eric Severson,聽SM天地论坛 County Sheriff
