Thankful for support during sheriff election

To the Editor:

First, let me say that it has been an honor and privilege to meet, inform, and represent nearly half of the voting population in Haywood County.  

I would like to extend congratulations to Sheriff Bobby Suttles on his win and to those who have supported my campaign and me over the last 18 months.

Your efforts to vote have made a difference in Haywood County. Together, we have shown that the citizens are watching and are interested in how the sheriff’s department is managed, and that we will continue to do so.

William “Bill” Wilke

Haywood Sheriff’s candidate

We don’t plan to change that model. Support from our readers will help us maintain and strengthen the editorial independence that is crucial to our mission to help make Western North Carolina a better place to call home.
