Letter to the Editor: Vance White

Greetings Bourbon County citizens and voters,

 

My name is Vance White and I am running as a write in candidate for Bourbon County Attorney. The reason I am running is simple, I can do a much better job. Since 2018, after the last person from here left office, we have had a series of outsiders who have been deficient in at least one serious way, not prosecuting criminals that should be prosecuted. I personally have had a burglary and criminal damage to property case sitting in the County Attorney’s office for nearly three (3) years now. The County Attorney’s office has photographs of the perpetrators, and I believe there are confessions, but nothing has been done. I have heard from other crime victims around the county, with similar stories, who have pretty much given up. That’s not the way it’s supposed to work folks, and I promise that if you elect me things will change. Cases will be expeditiously prosecuted and crime victims will be treated with respect, including letters sent out updating them about their cases.

This would not be my first time working in the County Attorney’s office. I “cut my teeth” there many years ago as an intern and Assistant County Attorney under the late John L. Swarts III. It was under his tenure that I learned early on that crime victims have rights too, should be treated fairly and never ignored. I have been around Bourbon County since 1992 and currently reside in Fulton. I am a proud member of Community Christian Church and an honorably discharged U.S. Army veteran.

So, if you would like to see a County Attorney working in that office who has lived here almost half his life, knows many people here already and is committed to his job, please WRITE IN MY NAME in the box for County Attorney. Thank you for your consideration!

 

 

Best regards,

Vance White
