Letter to the Editor: Re-elect Ron Krebs

Posted October 26, 2022 at 2:11 pm by

There are a number of important differences between Sheriff Ron Krebs and his opponent, but one of those differences is critical. Ron is the only candidate who understands what’s required to be the sheriff in a small rural county.

Ron’s built relationships over time. People trust him and are willing to confide in him. That’s critical for a small town sheriff. Those relationships and his approach to law enforcement help him and his deputies solve crimes and keep us safe.

Ron has also been willing to stick his neck out and publicly support critical community services, like the recent EMS levy, even when the community debate is contentious.

It’s also telling that a large majority of the deputies favor Ron’s re-election. They’re the ones who know what’s going on inside the department and who will be immediately affected by the voters’ decision.

Ron isn’t perfect. He’s made some mistakes. But over the course of his tenure as sheriff he’s served us well. We will continue to be well served by re-electing Ron Krebs.
