Letter: Support Donald Smith for Augusta County sheriff

AFP

letter-to-the-editor3Please join me in voting Donald Smith as the next sheriff of Augusta County.  He is exactly what our county needs.

My experience with Donald was a few years ago before this sheriff’s election was even thought about.  My wife had passed away.  I was left with lots of doctor bills and funeral expenses and I needed a new roof for my home.  Donald got together with his dad and church members.  Donald brought out his personal equipment and his church family and they spent 2 days replacing my roof.  Donald himself came out and helped tear the roof off, put a new roof on, and cleaned up and hauled away the debris.  When I asked him what I owed him for using his equipment and the cost of disposal, he wouldn’t accept a dime.

This kind act speaks volumes for the type of person Donald is.  Since that time, I have gotten to know Donald. He reminds me of my own father who was in law enforcement.  He is kind, honest, and generous, yet fair and tough when he needs to be.  These are all very important qualities that our next sheriff needs to have.  He is in the middle of his career, yet if you talk to him, he seems wiser than his years.  He has passion for his job and is a hard worker.

Since that time, I have had reached out to Donald on multiple occasions for advise and he has always helped me without hesitation. Vote American, Vote Donald Smith for sheriff, He will be the “people’s sheriff.”
