Waukesha County Sheriff Eric Severson Writes Open Letter Supporting Ryan Owens
By Waukesha County Sheriff Eric Severson
For 36 years I have served as a law enforcement officer, the last seven as the Waukesha County Sheriff. It has been the honor of my life; I wake up every day with a fresh resolve to do my job—committed to upholding the safety and security of our community. That’s what it takes to lead.
Our nation faces great challenges: civil unrest, charged politics, disregard for property and life, distrust of law enforcement—all these societal ailments are surging. We’ve seen it in Wisconsin. We’ve all felt it.
Yet, I remain optimistic because of the men and women I see stepping up to lead. From my vantage as Sheriff, I know what law enforcement needs to meet this moment: effective leadership.
Wisconsin needs new leadership and a renewed commitment to the rule of law—especially at the Wisconsin Department of Justice.
That’s why I strongly support Ryan Owens for Attorney General . He has my full endorsement and I’m going to do everything I can
