I am supporting County Attorney Brock Belnap in his reelection on Tuesday, June 24, and I encourage you to get out and vote Belnap with me. I support Brock because I trust him and his experience navigating critical cases, and because he has proven to me that he is a leader.
I trust Brock. When it comes to experience, he has both quantity and quality. Brock has been involved in felony prosecutions for over 15 years. He has personally tried complex, felony jury trials and succeeded in obtaining convictions. He leads his team of prosecutors in the prosecution of cases which would have devastating results if not handled correctly. He also spends hours each week reviewing potential criminal cases to ensure that his office brings criminal charges in a manner that is both firm and fair.
I respect Brock and follow his advice. As Washington County Sheriff, I know the importance of having a county attorney that can lead law enforcement officers to make sure crime is fought effectively and fairly. Brock has worked hard to develop relationships with our city police chiefs and with his team of prosecuting attorneys. It is not common for all the chief law enforcement leaders and a team of 11 prosecuting attorneys in a county to unanimously support a county attorney candidate—but we are all supporting Brock!
Finally, I agree with Brock’s understanding of his role as Washington County Attorney. He works to ensure that we live in a safe community where government remains as small and as local as possible. Some are saying that Brock’s opponent is the better candidate, despite his inexperience, because of his desire to expand the role of the county attorney and create “movements” by virtue of the office. I strongly disagree. Brock is a conservative. He understands the importance of each elected official, at every level of government, working within the official’s legally defined role. He is motivated in all of his actions by a desire to uphold our constitutional form of government and to serve our community.
The election takes place on Tuesday, June 24. Turnout is going to be the key. Please join me in voting for Belnap and encouraging your friends and neighbors to vote also!
Thank you,
Sheriff Cory Pulsipher
