Nohe has character needed to be our sheriff

Greg Nohe has the character needed to be our next Sheriff. He served as a Sergeant in the Military Police with the 18th Airborne Corp.

Those who represent us

The Feb. 9 item in the Marietta Times about “Educate yourself and vote” is a good reminder for voters. It cannot be overstated.
