Editor, Gazette-Journal:

There is quite a crowded field for sheriff in the upcoming November election. Certainly all the candidates have varying degrees of qualifications. One person does stand out among the group and that person is Gloucester native Larry Rilee.

I’ve known Larry his entire life, with nearly 20 years as my next-door neighbor. Uncle Amory and Aunt Marie raised a fine young man who went on to have a stellar career in law enforcement. Take a little time to study these four candidates and you should come out impressed with Larry’s past accomplishments and future plans if elected sheriff. You should then conclude that Larry Rilee is the best choice for the future sheriff of Gloucester County.
