Sheriff Boyer is a true leader and is dedicated to his community and has the citizens of Kitsap County's best interest at heart. He is compassionate and caring for his fellow citizens and takes the time to talk to and acknowledge us! PS.. I spoke to the Sheriff and I would like a sign for my yard!

I have known Sheriff Boyer both personally and professionally since his initial term in office. I find him to be a caring, fair, and honest individual who has Kitsap County citizen?s best interest at heart. When approached, he is always willing to take the time to listen, and offer suggestions and/or solutions. In addition, and to his credit here is what I believe it takes to be a good leader:

• His years of experience in law enforcement - having worked for both the Washington State Patrol, and the Kitsap County Sheriff's Department);

• A proven work history - by working his way up through the ranks from a Washington State line patrol officer to Kitsap County Sheriff); and

• His genuine caring for the welfare of Kitsap County citizen's.

These are a few reasons why retaining Sheriff Boyer just makes good sense.- Joyce E.S. Figueroa de Raschke 8.03.06

I want to see him back again as he is MY SHERIFF. - Kathryn Sauter 8.25.06

He has done a "superb" job as our sheriff. as a veteran, he has been present and supported us all the way. Now the problem is whether I vote for Steve and no one else. The "stupid" rules the political party's have put into place. He is still MY SHERIFF!!! - Ernest C. Blind 8.25.06

Thank you for doing a great job as our Sheriff. I am going vote for you because Kitsap County is a wonderful place to live and your continued leadership is vital for all our residents. My very limited exposure to law enforcement does not diminish my sense that you are the right person for the job. Best of luck in the coming election. - Joe Velazquez 8.28.06

I was a Sheriffs Cadet when Sheriff Boyer first became our Sheriff then went into the Reserve Deputys, with health circumstances I was unable to continue with my career choice. I met Sheriff Boyer and spoke with him on many occasions. I was always impressed with his compassion for his job and for people. I fully support him for another term as Sheriff and proud to say he has my vote once again. - Tyler Phillips 8.30.06

He is a great guy who cares about people. He thinks about how to deal with a situation without automatically resorting to weapons. He is an impressive roll model in this violent era. - Peggy Davis 8.30.06

Sheriff Boyer has the education, experience and shown leadership while in office. Some times it is hard to say "No" and that is what he had to do in negotiations with the Guild that resulted in this contested election. I am afraid that if the leadership changes the Guild will be running the office for the benefit of the deputies and not those of the people they are supposed to serve. - Det. Grant Romaine Poulsbo PD 08.31.06

I have known and worked with Steve for over 30 years and have found him to be a caring and hard working servent of any community he works in. A man of high quality and integrity. - Greg & Diana Sandstrom 08.31.06

through Rotary. I have found him to be trustworthy, genuine in his concern for our citizens and our county, proud of his deputies, and a man of integrity.

As a business owner, as a citizen of this county, and even as a Republican; it is with great pleasure that I endorse Steve Boyer for re-election as our Sheriff. Keep up the great work and may we continue to see the hard evidence of decreasing crime rates! - Damian Lonnee 09.01.06

I do support Mr. Boyer I feel he is doing a great job. But I apolize that I am unable to give him my vote due to the new voting rules. I do not consider myself a democrat nor a repulican, just a registered voter in WA for 29 years and I feel cheated by these new rules. GOOD LUCK - Debra Alvarez 09.02.06
