Thoughts on Boundary County Sheriff election

February 27, 2016

February 24, 2016 To the Editor: I would like to share a few words about one of our candidates running for sheriff, a good friend of mine, Dave Kramer. I met Dave Kramer about seven years ago when I joined Search and Rescue. It was my first encounter with emergency units or law enforcement of any kind. As time passed I became President of Search and Rescue. While I was President, Dave worked closely with me, while maintaining his position in the Police Department, to continue to build the team. Throughout the year, Dave would apply for grants on behalf of Search and Rescue, recruiting funds for much needed equipment, and bringing our unit up to speed for the challenges at hand. As I recap, I realize the dedication it takes to be part of SAR, and Kramer has been doing it for over 30 years of dedicated volunteer work for our county. For the few years I had the opportunity to work with Dave Kramer, I have seen what I believe is exactly what Boundary County needs at this time. With burglaries and drugs on the rise in Boundary County, and vandalism and increased bomb threats in our schools, Dave Kramer will take these problems and make them his own. Dave Kramer is the most qualified. I believe by the grace of God and the right Sheriff we can establish community in Boundary County once again. That is why in the 2016 election for Sheriff I will be casting my vote for Dave Kramer. Marcus Girod
