I offer integrity and a choice, not negativity
A recent letter to the editor alleges that Sheriff Smith's re-election signs are missing and suggests that either I or members of my campaign staff are the culprits ["Sheriff Smith stays upbeat, even if signs come down," Sept. 20]. This outrageous allegation, presumably from an independent individual, is completely false. No election, or anything in life, for that matter is worth my integrity. The writer accuses me of running a negative campaign. Again, untrue. What I have done, and will continue to do, is offer the residents of Spotsylvania County a choice between the status quo and change. I offer new strategies, priorities, and solutions for public safety concerns. I would think that committing myself to reversing escalating violent-crime rates, increasing dialogue with county residents, and improving neighborhood patrol, along with a commitment to diversity, is an optimistic campaign because it offers positive accomplishments to the county. I guess it seems negative if one's on the other side of the issues. Jerry Tolson Spotsylvania
