As we are now in October, we are on the threshold of the November 6th election; as such, we now must know who and what we are voting for as far as the Stearns County Sheriff's office is concerned.

 

First, we are voting for Waite Park Police Chief Dave Bentrud and a "Breath of Fresh Air" into the Sheriff's office. Since 1979 the Stearns County Sheriff's position has been filled from within the department hierarchy, one right after another since 1979, three times in nearly 40 years before the present, active sheriff was recently appointed. Secondly, we are voting for a sheriff who will need to work across party lines to get the job done since the sheriff's office is not a partisan (political party designated) position.

 

I can attest to Dave's ethics, morals, integrity, and that he will follow through with what says he will do. Let's v ote Waite Park Police Chief Dave Bentrud into the Stearns County Sheriff's office on Nov. 6.
