To the editor:
I’ve had the opportunity to know the Hood family for over 60 years now, and can honestly say they are well liked and highly respected in the entire area.
Todd Hood is our candidate for Madison County sheriff and, with the severe meth and drug problem we have today, we certainly need a sheriff with the background that Todd achieved while a member of the Syracuse Police Department.
Fortunately, we have highly trained and capable deputies in the corrections and civil divisions of the department and with Todd’s leadership capabilities in law-enforcement our road patrol deputies will certainly have all the tools they will need to enforce our laws.
Therefore, I invite you to join me on Nov. 7 and vote for Todd Hood to be our next Madison County sheriff.
Robert L. Ryan
Madison County Sheriff (Retired)
