Letter to Editor | We Need to Elect Jeff Asher for Sheriff

— from John Pritchard —

To San Juan County Citizens…

No, I’m not someone trying to get a friend elected. I’m not personal friends with Jeff and only know him through a professional relationship. I worked with Jeff when he was assigned as the lead detective with the San Juan County Sheriff’s Office.

Jeff is someone I really appreciated working with. I found him to be extremely thorough and determined, something really needed in a law enforcement administrator. He showed me that he really cared about the community that he lives and works in and not just as a cop but a member of that same community.

Jeff is not just a nice guy who cares. He is also a professional. With 30 years experience behind him, he had the breadth of knowledge needed to manage the Sheriff’s Office. Experienced in patrol, investigations and marine services, Jeff understands of a community like San Juan County surrounded by water and on an international border.

Jeff Asher has taken the time to build great relationships with other agencies, both local and federal; which is how I came to meet him. He is honest, sincere and will do his best to honor the community by being the respected Sheriff you ask for.

Vote for Jeff Asher. You’ll be glad you did.
