Lawrence County voters to decide three races
She said her administrative experience includes development of departmental training programs, including field training and communications training.
She said she believes her experience in the various arms of law enforcement would, if she is elected, benefit department operations and investigations.
The sheriff’s job pays $50,000.
Commission
Eastern District
Ruscha, 57, of Verona, is a real-estate salesman for Carol Jones Realtors. He was presiding commissioner for 16 years, starting in 1991. He decided not to run in 2006.
“After 16 years, I decided to give it a rest,” he said. “But I’ve missed it more than I thought I would, and I’m ready to go back after it.”
Ruscha said he is interested in making sure the county’s money is spent as wisely as possible. He said he believes the county is mostly sound financially, except for the 911 system. “The 911 system is not paying its way, so we need to find a way to finance it,” he said. He would like to increase revenue by sustained growth rather than increased taxes, he said.
Breeding, 46, of Aurora, has operated a lawn-care business for 16 years. He has lived in Aurora since 1989 and has attended Ozarks Technical Community College in Springfield.
He currently serves by appointment on the Aurora Airport Board. He formerly ran as a candidate for the Aurora City Council and twice before made unsuccessful bids for the County Commission.
Breeding said he wants to serve as a commissioner “to make sure our county is run right and people’s needs are met, the whole county’s needs.”
He said the two issues important to him are law-enforcement protection and road improvement. Maintenance of roads demands attention because of the increasing cost of paving, he said, and the condition of rural roads that are chipped and sealed or graveled.
He thinks the County Commission should consider how to help the Sheriff’s Department have better response times to calls, he said.
The associate commissioner’s posts pay $29,700.
