Editor, Gazette-Journal:
There are two candidates for Mathews County Sheriff. Sid Foster is by far the better candidate. Sid was born and reared in Mathews County.
My dad went to Mathews High School with him. He has been active in the community for many years. He is a past member of the Mathews Volunteer Rescue Squad serving as an EMT/EVOC and past president as well as past member of the Mathews Volunteer Fire Department, where he served on the board.
Sid has been involved, past and present, with coaching the youth in the community through the Mathews Little League, Mathews YMCA, and Mathews High School. He was also appointed interim Sheriff until the Sheriff elect took office in 2012. He has been a deputy here for 22 years. He has also been endorsed by the Mathews County Republican Committee.
Sid is a true Constitutional conservative Republican. I definitely support Sid Foster for Sheriff.
