To the editor:

I spent almost three decades in the law enforcement profession. I retired as the chief of police in Waterloo. I am currently an elected member of the Black Hawk County Board of Supervisors, serving my second term.

I first met Alex Pruismann 10 years ago. We were both in attendance at a Christian conference. I’ve always been impressed with Alex’s foresight, wisdom, professionalism, and integrity.

I wholeheartedly endorse Alex to be your sheriff. I have no doubt he would be a sheriff of the people, for the people, and by the people.
