Dear Editor,
At a time when Illinois Democrats have passed dangerous policies that will make our communities less safe and that make it harder for law enforcement to do their jobs, having strong Law Enforcement leadership at the county level should be the top priority for every voter in Macoupin County. That is why I am supporting Chief Jared DePoppe for Macoupin County Sheriff.
Chief DePoppe has the experience and the heart for public service to make a great Sheriff. He has served in law enforcement for 15 years, serving for 11 years as the Chief of Police in Gillespie. Chief DePoppehas a strong record of working with law enforcement agencies throughout Macoupin County and a strong record of leadership.
Macoupin County needs a Sheriff who will stand up to the dangerous “defund the police” movement and advocate for pro-police policies. Macoupin County also needs a Sheriff who will protect the constitutional rights of every citizen in the county, and a Sheriff who is a responsible steward of our taxpayer dollars. I have had the opportunity to work with Chief DePoppe and I am confident that he will work for the best interest of Macoupin County taxpayers and he will work for the safety of every resident. On November 8th, vote for Jared DePoppe for Macoupin County Sheriff.
Avery Bourne
