To the editor:
I am writing to you, the people of Lincoln and Logan County, to
vote for Jerry Melton for the Logan County sheriff’s position -- the
most qualified candidate.
He was a Logan County deputy for approximately 28 years before
retiring. His dedication to the people of Logan County during his
tenure was nothing less than a pledge of devotion to us who helped
protect and serve the people of Logan County. I feel his time in
service was in itself a qualification that obviously cannot be beat
by Sheriff Nichols. I feel Mr. Melton’s character, integrity, his
high moral standards, his high level of professionalism and a good
communicator would be an invaluable asset to all of us as Logan
County sheriff.
These are some of the qualifications that Mr. Melton has earned
and accomplished during his law enforcement career:
-
Law enforcement
experience, 28 years, Logan County
-
Presently employment
by San Jose and Hopedale Police departments

sheriff of Logan County. Please join me and vote for Jerry Melton
for Logan County sheriff.
