From the desk of Michael T. Gmoser, Republican Candidate for Butler County Prosecuting Attomey Dear Members of the Republican Central Committee, Republican Executive ‘Committee and all candidates for the Republican Central Committee: The anticipated Central Committee vote to appoint a new County Prosecutor after the November elections should reflect the best interests of the entire county. Those in the best position to know what is needed in a prosecutor are the Deputy Sheriffs who patrol the far reaches of our county keeping us safe. ‘They represent the largest law enforcement agency in the county. The Deputy Sheriffs of Butler County are organized as the Fratemal Order of Police (FOP) Lodge 101. On March 3, 2010, the FOP 101 membership interviewed extensively both me and my opponent. It was a full house with standing room only. Both of us were given an opportunity to speak on our qualifications which included my years of service as an Assistant County Prosecutor. Tam proud to announce and humbled by the overwhelming declaration of support I received that night from the FOP 101 over my opponent and I have enclosed a copy of their declaration with this letter. The Butler County Deputy Sheriffs’ declaration of support is all the more significant because my opponent is presently an Assistant County Prosecutor, has been so for ten years and did not, receive their declaration. Those men in uniform are our first line of defense against crime. They know who they want to represent them as prosecutor and I ask you to consider very seriously their declaration of support for me in your decision making process. Michael T.
