Dear Editor, 

As the Chief of Police for the City of Urbana, I wanted to send a letter supporting Ted Paxton for Benton County Sheriff. I have known Ted personally for about seven years. After completing the Cedar Rapids 49th Basic Police Academy in 2021, Ted allowed me to work for him as a part-time Police Officer for the City of Vinton. 

Ted is an outstanding leader and mentor for all officers under his command. With his many years of law enforcement experience, several of which were as an Administrator. Ted has the core values needed to run the Sheriff's office includes INTEGRITY, CHARACTER, and COURAGE.

The leadership that comes from rising through the ranks within the departments that Ted has served speaks volumes. The partnership that Ted has built with his community and other law enforcement agencies will not only continue but will grow stronger. 

I can think of no more qualified to be the next sheriff of Benton County. 

Sincerely, 

Joshua Baker

Urbana Police Chief

SG May 30, 2024, 10:49 am I too support Paxton for Sheriff. I know in my family he and his team were there to protect us from a crazy man. They quickly responded and took care of the situation. We are forever grateful!
