O’Brien County, Iowa — A longtime Sheldon City Police Officer filed papers Wednesday morning to run for Sheriff of O’Brien County.
Officer Todd Wood sat down with KIWA Radio, and explained what motivated him to seek the Sheriff’s position.
Wood talked about his employment background in law enforcement.
Prior to his law enforcement career, Officer Wood worked in the finance industry, a background he thinks will serve him well as a county department head.
We asked Officer Wood what he would like voters to know about him before they cast their ballot.
Wood is currently visiting the towns throughout O’Brien County, meeting with the citizens, letting them get to know him, and getting their input on what they’d like to see in a Sheriff for O’Brien County. This past Saturday, Officer Wood spoke at both the Republican and Democrat County Conventions, introducing himself to voters from both parties, and asking for their support.
Wood will be on the ballot for Sheriff of O’Brien County in the Republican primary June 7th.
