Support for Mason

To The Eagle,

As election day approaches, I wish to express my support for the election of John Mason to continue as sheriff for our county. I attended a meet-and-greet for John this past summer and have personally met with him twice since. In our meetings, he has shown an extraordinary degree of patience and concern for what I had to say. These qualities are reflected in the attitude and conduct of others in his department clearly demonstrating the confidence and respect that John's subordinates have for his leadership. In a small community such as this, it is vital that law enforcement personnel also recognize their roles as members of the community and that their conduct out of uniform must be above reproach. John serves as a wonderful example in this regard. I keep a watchful eye on social media as it relates to events at both ends of the county, and I have observed nothing but respect and gratitude for our sheriff's department in what can often be difficult situations. For these reasons, John Mason has my strongest endorsement for election as sheriff.
