Campaign Fundraising Letter In July of 2017, after speaking to several leaders in the Vance County community and after prayerful consideration and family discussions, I decided to take a leap of faith and run for the position of Sheriff of Vance Co. The people of this county deserve the opportunity to choose a viable candidate that has the best interest of the people at heart. While there are sure to be some challenges and obstacles, most of my life has involved many struggles in which I preserved and overcome.

Nevertheless, due to the peculiar layout of Vance County and the cost to campaign the territory, I am appealing to the citizens who want a change. To be successful in this endeavor it will take a very strong and dedicated grassroots organization. I believe the voters of Vance County will step forward with my family in a united volunteer effort.

All three have volunteered to help knock on doors, place yard signs and of course, participate in upcoming campaign events. With thousands of brochures to purchase, hundreds of yard signs to order, scores of radio ads to place, and Vance County to cover, I will need help. I am turning to the people who have known me the longest, who know me the best and humbly invite you to get involved in my campaign and help make a difference. Your early contribution, made payable to “Allen D. Simmons for Vance County Sheriff” will give our race a tremendous boost right out of the starting
