Support John Christophersen
I want to publicly give my support for John Christophersen as the next Oneida County Sheriff. I have known John for many years and appreciate his dedication to our community and all those who live in Oneida County.
The Sheriff of any county requires a unique temperament in order to direct a community’s law enforcement. I believe that John has that temperament! I believe he has shown strength through all of his years of service.
We can be confident in his future success because of the following ways that he has prepared himself:
Twelve years of law enforcement experience, including his Post certification from two Idaho Post Academies.
He has a knowledge and concern for all of Oneida County including areas far from Malad City. An example is serving the citizens of western Oneida County by helping to establish a reciprocity agreement with Box Elder County Ambulance.
He will continue giving the citizens of Oneida County respect and dignity no matter who they are.
Twelve years as a volunteer EMT for the Oneida County Ambulance – including a leadership role as president of the organization.
John has been farming in Malad Valley for over 30 years. He understands the needs of the agricultural community in our county.
He has raised his family here. I have watched his enthusiasm as he cheered on his daughter, Abby, in everything from rodeo to high school sports.
He is a trusted lifetime native of Oneida County, Idaho.
I have every confidence that John can be successful in leading our law enforcement department. I ask that you support him with your vote on
May 21st.
