Editor,

I would like to comment on the candidates for Lake County Sheriff. When we soon sit at home alone filling out an absentee ballot or stand alone in that voting booth we must not forget that once that vote is cast, it cannot be taken back no matter how much we would wish it to be. 

Eighteen months ago, Republicans, Independents, and Democrats rang in a new era of change and co-operation. How many wish they could take back their vote? We knew the candidate lacked experience, budget expertise, and made hollow promises. But once the vote is cast, it cannot be taken back. 

I personally know all of the candidates for Sheriff. All are good persons. But Jay Doyle is the right person for the job of Sheriff. 

Honesty, Integrity and over 21 years experience clearly makes Jay Doyle the candidate of choice. Jay Doyle has projected all the qualities needed in his personal life and professional life needed to be an excellent Sheriff. Jay Doyle loves God, his country, his family and his community that he has served so diligently. 

My dad always said “When you’re going to New York, don’t stop in Chicago,” meaning, ”Don’t go halfway.” I owe my children and my grandchildren who are being raised in this valley the best law enforcement leadership choice that I can make. I am not going to stop halfway with a good person, I am going to vote for the best and the right person to be the chief law enforcement officer for our county. 

I want to make my vote count. I do not want to be sitting 18 months from now wishing I could take that vote back. Jay Doyle has the experience, Jay Doyle has the integrity, and Jay Doyle has the one-, five- and 10-year plan that involves community partnerships and inter-departmental relationships to carry well into the future with fiscal responsibility. 

Jay Doyle has my vote and my total endorsement for Lake County Sheriff.
