Splitting your ticket
GUEST COLUMN, John Richard Schrock, Education Frontlines
My Democrat uncle was elected sheriff in an otherwise completely Republican county in Indiana in the 1950s. As a youngster at the time, I saw how he refused to evict a young man and his wife and young child from their rented house when the man’s employer had gone bankrupt and he could not pay the rent. Instead, the sheriff helped the man find work. That is what the public saw, and how he continued to be re-elected in a county that was overwhelmingly run by the other Party.
