To the editor:

It is my pleasure to recommend and endorse Luke Fleener for Webster County Sheriff in the primary election on Tuesday, June 4.

Over the last four years, I have had the opportunity to work with Luke on multiple important issues facing our community. Issues such as crime reduction, public safety and mental health concerns have been topics that we have been able to work together to forge a path for the betterment of all Webster County residents. I have found that his experience and knowledge in law enforcement, public safety and training simply cannot be matched.

As your state representative and a long-standing citizen of Fort Dodge, I am extremely proud that our own sheriff travels the country to provide training to law enforcement, fire and EMS personnel in active shooter response protocols to save lives. His knowledge and expertise in this field has undoubtedly helped our community churches and schools in preparation for events of this nature.

Please join me in voting to reelect Luke Fleener for Webster County Sheriff on June 4.

State Rep. Ann Meyer
