To the editor:

My wife and I have known Paul Reece for many years, and we can confidently say that we have never met a more loving, loyal, and honest person. Paul holds his family dear, and he is deeply passionate about his religious beliefs and God. He is a loyal friend who is always willing to lend a listening ear, talk, and help in any way he can.

Paul has served as a deputy in both Miami and Montgomery Counties, which has given him a wealth of valuable training and experience. He also proudly served in the US Army, where he made many sacrifices and put in years of dedicated service.

Between his two careers, Paul has devoted 38 years of his life to serving the people and making our community a safer place. We firmly believe that there is no one with more qualifications, intelligence, and experience to hold the position of Miami County Sheriff and uphold the law fairly and honestly.

We urge the people of Miami County to vote for Paul Reece for Sheriff on March 19.
