The elephant in the room - Riecke Claussen

We couldn’t agree more with this thoughtful piece by former Mesa County Sheriff Riecke Claussen in today’s Daily Sentinel.


In a time when shouting over each other too often replaces listening, Claussen reminds us of the wisdom in seeking shared truth, and the humility to recognize we might only be seeing part of the picture.


“Maybe the solution isn’t in Washington but in our own neighborhoods…”


Thank you, Sheriff Claussen, for encouraging reflection, respect, and reasoned dialogue.
