You read it on McHenry County Blog first on August 19th, but here is the official announcement that former McHenry County Deputy Sheriff Zane Seipler is running against incumbent Keith Nygren for the Republican nomination for McHenry County Sheriff.

The press release follows:

Zane Seipler to Run for McHenry County Sheriff

Woodstock, IL, September 13, 2009- Change is long overdue in the McHenry County Sheriff’s Department. The attitude of law enforcement has changed drastically over the last decade.

Accountability, courtesy, integrity is the hallmark of sheriff departments nationwide and so it should be in McHenry County.

Over the past thirteen years the McHenry County Sheriff’s Department has become stagnant and complacent.

New ideas are needed.

New values need to be established.

New relationships need to be formed.

New leadership is required.

As a former McHenry County Sheriff’s deputy with nearly thirteen years of law enforcement and military experience I am now announcing my candidacy for the office of McHenry County Sheriff.

As a Republican, the citizens of McHenry County can count on me to uphold traditional party values. I have generated a campaign website, ZaneSeipler4Sheriff.com which outlines my goals, concerns and core values.

Now that I have officially embarked on this candidacy I am eager to exchange ideas with all interested McHenry County citizens. With the support and votes of the good people of McHenry County I hope to elevate the office of Sheriff to a higher standard and usher in a promising future.

I can be contacted at “Citizens for Zane Seipler”, P.O. Box 1672, Woodstock 60098, E-mail ZaneforSheriff@gmail.com or by telephone at (847)561-1180.
