ELECT KEVIN M. SISKA FOR POTTER COUNTY SHERIFF
My name is Kevin Siska and I am a Republican candidate for Potter County Sheriff. I have been in various facets of law enforcement for 28 years. I worked in a maximum security, state prison in Alaska. Later, while employed by the Juneau Police Dept. in Juneau, AK, I held positions as a Sergeant in Patrol, Investigations, and Administration. I served as a supervisor in Patrol and Investigations.
I am currently a Deputy with the Potter County Sheriff’s Department and have been employed in that capacity for seven years.
I am the only candidate with law enforcement experience. Along with that experience, I have the knowledge and training to make the transition to Sheriff seamless. While working for the Juneau Police Department we took great pride in working well with other agencies and being responsive to the area residents. I was taught to treat people fairly and with respect. I have always lived by those standards and will continue to do so as your sheriff.
I am currently a Certified Deputy with the Pennsylvania Sheriff and Deputy Sheriff Education and Training Board. From the time I am sworn in as Sheriff, I will be able to not only tend to the administrative duties of the Sheriff but be able to assist with all the other duties handled by the deputies. When in a department that has only four full time sworn positions at full staffing levels, being able to assist with daily duties is beneficial. Currently the Department is operating with only 2 full time and 1 part time positions filled. It then becomes a necessity not a luxury for the Sheriff to be able to assist with daily tasks.
If elected, I look forward to continuing my service to the residents of Potter County as the new Sheriff. I have the necessary qualifications and experience to perform all the duties of Sheriff immediately upon taking office. It will be my privilege and honor to continue to serve the people of Potter County as the new Sheriff.
Please remember to vote for Kevin M. Siska on May 16th. As a Republican candidate, I am asking those who are Democrats and do not have a Democratic candidate on the ballot to please examine my qualifications and write me in on the Democratic Ballot. Thank you for all your continuing support. Remember to vote on Tuesday, May 16th!

Vote Angela Milford For Potter County Sheriff
ELECT FOR POTTER COUNTY SHERIFF
My name is Angela Milford, and I am a Republican candidate running for the position of Potter County Sheriff. I was born and raised and have worked in this area my entire life. I have worked for Potter County government for approx. 29 years in the jail. I was a Corrections Officer and was moved up into management of Deputy Warden and now Warden for approx. 14 years of that. I work very closely with the Sheriff’s Department and am very familiar with their role. I am being endorsed by the current Sheriff, Glenn Drake. He has expressed to me his desire and intention, should I be elected, to stay on with the department in a part-time capacity, which will assist me in my transition into this new job. The role of Sheriff has many different aspects with much of it being administrative and delegating other functions to deputies. I do some parts of the administrative tasks already in assistance to their department such as coordinating transports, going on transport, taking care of extradition requirements and many other tasks. I am confident I will be able to jump into this position and take it on. I do understand and know there will be training that I need to attend and look forward to learning. I believe I am the best candidate for this position as I am motivated by a desire to help people. I am firm but I am also fair. I hope you will vote for me as your next Sheriff. I would appreciate my democratic friends to write me in also. Thank you.

When Kelly was younger, spending an evening with her was like running away with the circus. Later in the gentle embrace of her marriage to Rick, her wildness remained keenly alive, but manifested itself in kindness and deep appreciation of life’s most basic pleasures. She will be missed, and she will always be with us.”
She is survived by her husband, Richard Kirkwood, her mother, Judy Shaffer, her stepson, Christian Kirkwood, her brother, Jon Shaffer and his wife, Dawn, her sister, Jennifer Hackley and her husband, Jack, several nieces, and nephews who loved to sit and hear Aunt Kelly’s stories.
