Letter: Cheney a man of his word

I have known Jeff Cheney professionally and as a friend for nearly 20 years.

When I was chief district attorney investigator and a special (part-time) DA investigator, I worked with Jeff when he was a deputy DA.

Jeff’s statement “Integrity, Leadership, Experience” is more than just a slogan.

He is honest and has a set of core values that he practices daily. He is a man of his word.

He has hired, trained and mentored deputy district attorneys. He has gone to murder crime scenes at 2 in the morning to advise law enforcement so that they collect evidence that can be admitted in court.

Jeff has been a deputy DA for 10 years and has prosecuted cases from first-degree murder to DUIs.

I urge you to join me in voting for Jeff Cheney for district attorney for the Ninth Judicial District.
