Dear Editor,

I’ve worked alongside Melinda for over 27 years at the Benton County Treasurer’s Office and I am proud to support her for re-election as the Benton County Treasurer.

Melinda has spent 28 ½ years serving the people of Benton County and has been our Treasurer for the last 6 years. She has also completed all the requirements to become a Certified Treasurer which includes having held the office of the Treasurer for 36 months and completing 30 credit hours of training.

Throughout the years I have seen firsthand how much she cares about our office, her employees, and the customers who walk through our doors every day.

She brings experience, knowledge, steady leadership, and a positive work environment to our office. We are thankful for the friendly, hardworking team atmosphere she helps create.

If you’d like to continue seeing the same friendly faces and dependable service at the Benton County Treasurers Office, I hope you will join me in voting for Melinda Schoettmer for Benton County Treasurer on June 2, 2026.

Thank You,

Rose Ries Sackett
