VoteVets Endorses John Idleburg for Lake County Sheriff

Lake County - John Idleburg, Marine Corps veteran, has been endorsed in his race for Lake County Sheriff by the VoteVets Political Action Committee, which represents over 600,000 veterans and supporters nationwide.

“In these turbulent political times, our veterans, communities, and country need leaders like John Idleburg who will continue to serve the nation and put country first,” said Jon Soltz, Chairman, VoteVets PAC, Iraq War Veteran.

“Having America’s military veterans serving in federal, state, and local office could not be more critical than it is now. We know that veterans have the knowledge garnered from a wide range of experiences that are so sorely needed at every level of our government,” said Rick Hergdahl (USNR, ret), National Field Director. “We believe in John’s ability and commitment to lead, and we are honored to select John as a VoteVets PAC Emerging Leader,” he added.

“As a veteran, I am honored to receive the endorsement from VoteVets, a group founded by veterans committed to making the country safer and stronger, which is what I’ve done my whole life and will continue to do as Lake County Sheriff. VoteVets recognizes that as a Marine, law enforcement officer, and current President of the Illinois Police Association, my proven track record will make Lake County safer. Adding VoteVets to our growing list of endorsements will be important in securing a victory this November so that we can work together as I continue to serve our community as the next Lake County Sheriff,” said John Idleburg.
