ENDORSEMENT: Re-elect Sheriff Norris

I highly recommend the re-election of Sheriff Bob Norris. He is the real deal. When he first ran I felt he was too new to the area to understand Kootenai County, but he is a fast learner and has made significant changes to the Sheriff’s Department that were and are in the best interest of our citizens. I knew Ben Wolfinger, former sheriff, and donated to his campaign and thought he did a good job. Rocky Watson was sheriff before Ben and a personal friend and a very fine sheriff. Pierce Clegg was sheriff also and we served on a committee and I got to know and thought he did a good job for our citizens. Voters need only ask one question. Will Bob Norris protect us and defend the values we have as citizens of Kootenai County. That answer is a resounding yes. Vote Bob Norris in November.
