The question before voters is “Who is the best candidate to lead the sheriff’s office?” The answer is simple: Chuck Atkins.

Out of the candidates vying for the position of Clark County sheriff, Atkins has the best working knowledge of the department. He has the greatest level of respect by all who would be working for him, which is a quality that has been earned through years of quality leadership. He has the working knowledge to interact with the other agencies and departments within the county. He knows the talents and qualities of the people who work for the sheriff’s office.

Atkins is by far the best qualified candidate for the job of sheriff.
