  This letter is in support of Michelle Courier for state’s attorney in Boone County. Michelle Courier has done a great job as state’s attorney for all the people in Boone County regarding crime, DUIs, gang-related problems and advice to the county board and general public. Her office has an open door policy. You can always go into her office and get a legal opinion.

  Michelle Courier serves everyone with the same courtesy and respect, whether they are a Democrat, Republican or Independent. Her respect for all different nationalities is beyond reproach. This may be the reason that some good old boys in her party don’t get the preferential treatment that they enjoyed with the prior administration and have decided to promote a candidate from that prior administration to run against her.

  Do not allow the good old boys to fool you. It is not about Michelle’s record as state’s attorney — it is about who can control and receive that preferential treatment they feel they deserve over the rest of the citizens of Boone County.

  So please, get out and vote for Michelle Courier to continue to do the job that she has proven can be done well by representing everyone.

  We all need Michelle Courier to keep the respectability in this office that we have enjoyed for the past seven years.

  A vote for Michelle Courier is a vote for an elected position that has a proven record of government working for all the people in Boone County — the way it was designed to work.

  — Edward Sherman, Belvidere

    The state’s attorney plays a vital role in our community beyond putting criminals away. The state’s attorney is the attorney for the county and all its officials.

    As your Boone County clerk, I myself have a wide variety of duties, from being the clerk for the county board and the keeper of all the county records, to being the chief election officer. In carrying out my responsibilities, I have needed and relied upon the sound advice of our state’s attorney.

    Michelle is always willing to help and has provided me with well-researched opinions that have helped me carry out my duties over the years. I have also seen Michelle in action at county board meetings. She is always well-prepared and has displayed the patient professionalism we need at county board meetings.

    In Michelle, we have a state’s attorney who has the experience and knowledge necessary to carry out the tremendous duties and responsibilities of the state’s attorney’s office.

    Please vote Republican and re-elect Michelle Courier as our state’s attorney on March 15.

    — Mary Steurer, Boone County clerk
