I certainly hope that all politics are set aside and that the new Sheriff will be someone who has a proven record of integrity, wide scope of experience in and out of Brunswick County and a solid educational background in law enforcement. It takes a well-rounded person with "all" of the characteristics needed of a leader to lead our county back into a respectful and law abiding organization. Keep the larger picture in mind...safety, security of our citizens and no backdoor politics. God Bless our new Sheriff and each of the voters who will be selecting him/her.
