The race for Ventura County sheriff is critical to the well-being of our families and our businesses, and we all have a personal stake in electing the very best candidate.

Demonstrated experience, leadership and ethics are all essential sheriff attributes and must not be compromised.

Our new sheriff must have an impeccable record and high standards. In addition to saying the right thing, he must always do the right thing. Each time. Every time.

Therefore, many law enforcement associates, busi- nesses, friends and family join me in supporting Dennis Carpenter for sheriff. He’s the right person for the job because character really does count.
