Letter: Son serves public well as sheriff

From: Martha Myers

Columbus

My name is Martha Myers and I am the mother of Sheriff Matt Myers. Some will say I am biased, but who knows a son better than his mother?

I want you to know him like I do. Matt loves the Lord and he is willing to share the story of his spiritual journey with the residents he visits in the jail. He is a loving husband and father, and makes it a priority to spend time with his wife and sons. He coaches the boys basketball teams and works at beekeeping with his wife, Kyra.

He loves the people he works with and strives to give them the resources they need to do their jobs safely. His door is always open to anyone, and he routinely meets with residents from throughout the county. He treats all with respect and compassion.

Yes, I am proud of Matt. He is honest, hard-working and committed to serving the public. With pride and a heart filled with love, I ask you to vote for our sheriff, Matt Myers, in the May primary.
