Editor, The Herald:

This year I will be casting my vote for James Tyree for Sheriff. I am not voting for James because he is a part of my family or because of the wonderful role model he has been to my oldest son Jody, but because I truly believe James is trying to make a difference for all citizens of Buckingham County.

James has had 25 years of experience with the state police and has specialized training in law enforcement, drug investigation, and prevention program procedures. I not only believe James Tyree has the experience, he also has the ability to become our next sheriff!
