Yours Truly, 

Fitz Grant – Community Leader

"Chad Sheehan has shown integrity and a compassionate heart for the citizens of Woodbury County both throughout Chad’s 23-year career in law enforcement and still today. He is a key member of the Critical Incident Stress Management team. Chad’s involvement with the  team has impacted the community in incredibly positive and productive ways. For over 15 years Chad has volunteered numerous hours making sure our responders are able to work through some very tragic scenes that no one should have to endure alone. The mental health and well-being of all law enforcement officers, fire/rescue and first responders is always a top priority for Sheehan. During my 45-year career in Emergency Medical Services, Chad’s passion, and dedication to the mental health of our first responders is unmatched. He continues to volunteer his time and expertise throughout Woodbury County for both urban and rural first responders."

"As Captain under Sheriff Dave Drew I fully endorse and support Chad Sheehan for Woodbury County Sheriff.  I’m excited for Chads high energy as a self-starter! He encompasses a  selfless motivation in an era of negative stigma’s overshadowing Law Enforcement.  His vision and ideas offer a modern and new perspective for the Sheriff's Office. I know his leadership will enhance our training and professionalism as we move into this modern era of law enforcement. "

Captain Willie Garrett

Woodbury County Sheriff's Office

“As the current training officer and former Fire Chief of the Anthon Volunteer Fire Department I’ve had the opportunity to get to know Chad Sheehan over the years.  Chad has done more for the public safety of rural communities and rural fire departments than any other candidate for Sheriff. Chad has taught all of our schools how to respond during an active shooting incident, for FREE. He has also taught rural fire departments how to be better prepared to respond to these incidents. Then when we had a tragic plane crash in our Anthon community, Chad was there as a volunteer peer helper with the critical incident stress management team to help us through it.  Chad Sheehan has proven through his actions, he cares about our rural communities and that is why I endorse Chad Sheehan for Woodbury County Sheriff.”
