Dear Editor,

Of the seven candidates running for district magistrate, Sean Smith is the only candidate that has the hands on experience to effectively rule on the numerous cases this office must oversee. His 27 years of police experience (21 years as a chief of police), has provided him with the knowledge and ability to truly understand the complex criminal and civil issues affecting our community and subjectively rule on the individual merits of each situation

The position of district magistrate requires an impartial review of individuals and circumstances in order to rule based on the laws in place. Sean Smith is the only candidate that had to impartiality implement the laws in many situations to individuals he knew personally and even family members. This position is far too important to have someone who is inexperienced or is justified based on political affiliation or popularity.

Think of this when you cast your vote. Experience does matter for this position and Sean Smith is the best person of the seven candidates to perform the important duties of this office. Vote Sean Smith For District Magistrate. Thank you very much.

Robert V. and Sheree Strauss
