***ENDORSEMENT***
I am writing this letter in support of Chuck Owenby for Transylvania County Sheriff. I have known Chuck for over 20 years and worked with him for several of those years while assigned to the patrol division at the Sheriff’s Office. My own career has spanned well over 30 years, including positions working in patrol, jail administrator and Chief Deputy (Henderson County) before retiring. I only state some of my experience to qualify my endorsement for Chuck for the position as leader of the highest level of law enforcement in our county. Chuck is a man of integrity who will provide the utmost ethical, legal and professional leadership that is greatly needed. He has the experience, intelligence and drive to lead the complex organization of the Sheriff’s Office. The competent men and women that currently serve our county deserve someone with Chuck's values, determination and demeanor to lead them. He understands the diversity of our community and the need for close collaborative efforts with all agencies serving our county. Chuck is humble, well grounded, and open. He is a lifelong residence of Transylvania County, a dedicated family man and a strong proponent of the second amendment to the U.S. Constitution. He is heavily invested in his church, his family, the schools and numerous civic organizations. I urge you to go to the polls and vote Chuck Owenby for Sheriff!!
Sincerely,
Greg Cochran
Retired Law Enforcement Officer
