Reading about Sheriff Mink and DA Storey wanting third terms, I could understand their point of view. Experience helps. Then I thought about the wider issues and it appears to me that an incumbent is harder to beat than a candidate from outside. It looks to me as if that may be the important issue.
Incumbents have the advantage of maintaining party control of counties or the state. It is for that reason that I, among Jeffco Republicans, went door to door with petitions, to get term limits on elected officials, even competent, professional ones such as these two men.
So, no, Sheriff Mink and DA Storey, sorry. Two terms are enough. The people signed petitions and spoke in an election. Are we to change the law depending on who the officials are or are we to let the people's decision stand? I think we should let the people's decision stand. That's conservative and best for our system of government long run.
