I met a DuPage sheriff's deputy at the 421 County Farm Road. DuPage Government Office Building many years ago during one of my many visits there to observe the county board meetings. After talking candidly with Deputy James Mendrick, I told him he would make a great sheriff in the future.
Today, James Mendrick is the candidate for DuPage County Sheriff who deserves your vote. He is uniquely qualified, with his near 23 years of experience on the department, which included many command positions throughout different segments of their operations. He alone has the backing of the majority of the rank and file among the deputies. Mendrick will take politics out of the office if elected and address the issues important to the publics safety. Vote Mendrick for sheriff.
