Editor:
I was amused to read Mac Myers recent letter to the editor supporting Will Furse for district attorney. It is important to remember that Russ Wasley ran against Mac Myers two years ago, and Mac Myers lost.
In an election year, it is easy to take things out of context and make wild accusations in the name of political rhetoric. It is also hard to hide from your record. Over the last two years, Russ Wasley has established a record that should make him proud. He took over an office that was still suffering from the untimely death of Jim Wilson and reorganized it. Since then, he has been working tirelessly to protect the people of Montezuma and Dolores counties by sending murderers, burglars, robbers, rapists and drug dealers to jail. During the recent GOP caucus season, he chose to focus on doing his job and tending to a murder in Dolores instead of spending time politicking. There were some candidates who seized upon this opportunity. It would be unfortunate to see a hard-working public servant punished because he chose to put his job ahead of politics.
As a citizen of Montezuma County, I would like to thank Russ Wasley for a job well done. He has earned our respect and gratitude. He deserves our support in the upcoming election.
