To the Editor:
Please join me in keeping John Ball working as our Madison County Sheriff. John Ball was appointed as Undersheriff seven years ago by then-Sheriff Allen Riley to serve as second in command for the day-to-day operations of the entire 150 person agency including; the correctional facility, criminal division, road patrol, civil division, traffic safety coordinator, child advocacy center and the STOP DWI program.
Since Riley’s departure to accept a position with the state several months ago, John has well managed the Office of interim Sheriff.

John has also volunteered as a Board member of BRIDGES, a local organization dedicated to fighting drug and alcohol abuse throughout the County. In addition, he served on the Board of Directors of the Madison County Community Action  Partnership.
 He earned the Madison County Community Services Board Award for his outstanding contributions in the area of alcoholism and substance abuse and is a recipient of numerous endorsements from law enforcement agencies.
A Veteran of the US Navy, John Ball has honorably served our Nation as well as our County and demonstrated his outstanding qualifications for the position of Madison County Sheriff.
Therefore, without reservation, I urge you to vote Nov. 7 for John Ball for Sheriff of Madison County.
Marianne Simberg, Oneida
