WEST VIRGINIA SHERRIFS ASSOCIATION ENDORSES

REYNOLDS
HUNTINGTON, WV The West Virginia Sheriffs Association (WVSA) announced earlier this
month it has endorsed Doug Reynolds for Attorney General in the upcoming election.
WVSA President, Sheriff R. Steven Tanner, says in making endorsements for candidates for
public office, the Sheriffs of WV take the responsibility very seriously.
After reviewing Dougs application, the WVSA delivers its confidence that he is well suited for
the position, said Tanner. In the current state of our State, we applaud Dougs willingness to
participate in public service to make our communities the best possible, and we are pleased to
present him our endorsement. We look forward to working with Doug to build stronger
communities, combat drug abuse and make them as safe as possible.
Reynolds says hes honored to have the support and endorsement of this dedicated organization
and its hardworking, dedicated men and women.
The men and women in law enforcement put their lives on the line every day and deserve our
respect and admiration, said Reynolds. Ive always supported our law enforcement officers and
as Attorney General, I will continue fighting for all West Virginians. The issues facing West
Virginia demand bold leadership, not a D.C. insider who is working solely to advance his own
political career. I look forward to working alongside law enforcement to address the drug
epidemic that is plaguing our State and killing our children.

The West Virginia Sheriffs Association is a non-profit organization made up of the sheriffs in all
55 counties in West Virginia. The WVSA is dedicated to the professionalism of the Office of
Sheriff in our State We have thousands of Honorary Members across WV. Active involvement by
