I believe the sheriff of our county should have integrity. Having worked for 35 years in law enforcement, including the Sheriff’s Office, the Belpre Police Department and 31 years at the Marietta Police Department, I know the culture of these agencies. I have worked with both candidates and know their abilities and personalities. Support Mark Warden.
I urge your readers to elect Khadine Ritter to fill the vacant seat on Ohio’s Republican State Central Committee. Ms. Ritter is highly intelligent and is an attorney in Southern Ohio’s largest law firm — Theisen Brock in Marietta. Khadine has been politically active since she was a child, who was born and raised in Panama, where her father worked for the Panama Canal Commission. Her mother created a home environment where Khadine learned how democratic citizens should conduct themselves. In early 2000 Khadine agreed to become the campaign manager for the late Andy ...
I am writing in support of Greg Nohe in our election for Sheriff of Washington County. Your votes in March are important in the election for our new sheriff. Both candidates are running Republican, both candidates have the experience. However one candidate is heavily supported by a majority of those that have worked in, or around the law enforcement community in our county. I worked under Greg Nohe while he served as Jail Administrator. Greg is a phenomenal leader, he is a genuine person, he is “boots on the ground, a hands on administrator. Greg leads differently than what has ...
Dear Editor, My name is Vera Paxton, I am the 80-year-old mother of Kim Fulton and grandmother of Daniel who were brutally murdered in 1995. With the arrest of a co-conspirator in custody, I am confident Mark Warden will continue to push their case forward. While under unfortunate circumstances, I met Mark Warden at the time of their homicides. Mr. Warden has been a constant in the case since that time in a variety of roles. Regardless of his position from dispatcher to detective and now Chief, he has served our family with compassion and the utmost respect. I am sure dealing with the ...
As a Washington County business owner, I have appreciated the steady leadership Kevin Ritter has shown as a County Commissioner. He is able to take in a great deal of information, sift it, and then make a reasoned decision based upon what’s best for the County. He communicates well and I know him to be a man of his word. When two new Commissioners were elected in 2020, I was interested to see how the Board would work together. I was pleased to see that despite coming from very different backgrounds and with diverse talents, they meshed well. I do not recall a Board of ...
There is nothing ambiguous about Kevin Ritter. Nothing to guess, nothing to figure out, nothing to interpret, no reason to wonder where and how he will change or go with the flow once he’s elected. Kevin Ritter is a candidate for State Representative for Ohio’s 94th District. We are fortunate to have Kevin Ritter on the ballot in an age where, it seems, candidates of both parties focus more on attaining and keeping office than serving the public that elected them. Not so with Kevin Ritter. There is a reason Kevin Ritter is an unapologetic conservative. He understands the past. ...
