LACEY – The Washington State Sheriff’s Association has sent a letter dated July 15 signed by 37 of the state’s county sheriffs that stated they “pledge to do everything within our power to steadfastly protect the Second Amendment.”
The sheriffs said this letter was prompted by increasing public concern to safeguard constitutional rights.
In the letter, Washington’s sheriffs reaffirmed to “support, obey, and defend the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of Washington.”
“I am proud to be a part of such a great moment when our Constitutional rights are being challenged,” Walla Walla County Sheriff Mark Crider stated Tuesday on the WWSO’s Facebook page.
Crider is also the secretary/treasurer of the WSSA. Only two of the state’s county sheriffs did not sign the letter. They are Mitzi Johanknecht of King County and Interim Sheriff John Gese of Kitsap County.
