SHERIFF: A prosecutor’s preference

Please vote for Captain Kim Edmondson for Kootenai County Sheriff in the primary election. I worked closely with Captain Edmondson for 20 years when I was the elected Kootenai County Prosecuting Attorney from 1989 to 2009. Together we successfully prosecuted society’s worst offenders: murderers, drug dealers, sex offenders and more.

Captain Edmondson has dedicated her 30-year Kootenai County Sheriff Department career to protecting our community, especially our most vulnerable citizens-our children and the elderly. She has also been a leader in insuring the rights of crime victims.

Captain Edmondson has earned the endorsements of those who know her best including two popular former elected Kootenai County Sheriffs and law enforcement members throughout our great state. Her protection of Kootenai County citizens with integrity and professionalism has earned our trust.

Be wary of other sheriff candidates who make unrealistic, expensive promises with glitzy advertisements. Please join my wife, Geri, and I in supporting Captain Kim Edmondson for Kootenai County Sheriff.
