Editor,

It is my personal opinion that re-electing Bill Barron would be in the best interest for all the residents of Lake County for a number of reasons.

I have known and worked with Bill Barron for almost 17 years. I know him to be honest, objective, hard working, and to be focused on any given situation for a just and positive outcome. I have been honored to work with numerous police agencies in different states over the years. It is my personal opinion, in comparing him with the many others that I have worked with, that Bill Barron is at the top of the very best of law enforcement.

Re-electing Bill Barron to continue serving Lake County as Sheriff would be the best thing for law enforcement in Lake County.

I have also been a licensed attorney in Montana since 1991. I have worked with countless professionals and law enforcement professionals over the years. I have found that Bill Barron is truly a law enforcement professional of the highest order. He distinguishes himself further by being able to rise above disagreements or problems. He has repeatedly proven that he works well with other agencies at all levels of law enforcement to work for the common good of all those involved.

Bill Barron has the talent and experience to see the bigger picture and be objective and creative in making decisions. He is looked to for his opinion on critical issues within law enforcement. I have seen the positive results of Bill Barron working together with other agencies. His ability to work with others allows for great continuing relationships between local, state, and federal law enforcement. Bill Barron is a tremendous asset to law enforcement in Lake County.

Lake County deserves a sheriff that is of the highest caliber that law enforcement can produce. It is my personal opinion that Lake County is a great place and deserves honesty, intelligence, hard work, and professionalism in the Sheriff. Bill Barron has all these qualities … The residents of Lake County should re-elect Bill Barron to have the best that law enforcement can produce to serve as their Sheriff.
