What do we know about Sean Smith? When asked for information regarding what his beliefs and ideas are he will lead you to a picture copy of his résumé posted on his Facebook page. All that tells me is where he has been; I want to know where he is going. What is his big picture idea of the sheriff’s office in four years if he were to unseat Sheriff Schirard? When asked, he will lead you back to the picture of his résumé. I have always been afraid of a silent politician who runs a campaign by trying to find the bad in his opponent instead of telling his voter base what his thoughts and ideas are. So I will be casting my vote for Duke Schirard because I know who he is, I know what he stands for, I know he will stand up for what he believes in and I know that he has a more-than-proven record when it comes to keeping La Plata County safe.
