Dear Sheriff Lombardo,

My name is Matt Winick from Ann Arbor, Michigan and I have a strong interest in learning history including social justice. In these subjects, I like to learn the need to make Civil Rights stronger to reduce discrimination, protect the environment from pollution, have criminal justice reform to help protect people’s rights while reduce crime, and many others.  Sheriff Lombardo, the main reason I’m writing you a letter is to explain how I find your work as 17^th Sheriff of Clark County, Nevada to be very inspiring to me.

In your current role as 17^th Sheriff of Clark County, Nevada, I truly appreciate on how you are a strong supporter of Civil Rights by advocating for people with disabilities’ rights and working to expand Sheriff including the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department to combat against hate-crime in order to protect minorities including people who are different.   Expanding drug treatment programs to help drug-users get the care they need to reduce drug-abuse, pushing law enforcement to improve resources to assist victims of crime or victims of domestic violence get help on dealing with trauma,  and expressing the need for more funds to improve DNA testing including forensic science to help solve cases including evidence efficiently while reduce sending a innocent person to jail is common sense for criminal justice reform. Another thing that I like about your role as Sheriff of Clark County, Nevada is how you are working to have more community partnership including community policing between law enforcement officers and the community to find ways to reduce tensions,  hiring women, minorities, and people with disabilities to work the LVM Police Department, and implementing more training programs to help train law enforcement officers to find ways or methods to reduce crime.  Also in your role as a moderate Republican, I like on how you are a continuous strong supporter of Civil Rights including people with disabilities’ rights,  advocate for criminal justice reform including community policing,  support the need for gun control to reduce people with criminal background from buying a weapon. and express the need for the criminal justice system to reduce racial profiling to help protect minorities including immigrants from being oppressed.  

Sheriff Lombardo, I have autism with a learning disability. Having a disability is hard for me because I have trouble comprehending on learning different advance subjects, sometimes I struggle to communicate my thoughts, and get teased.   Your commitment to be a strong supporter of Civil Rights including people with disabilities’ rights really inspires me to work hard on my disability. Also your role as 17^th Sheriff of Clark County, Nevada gives me motivation to continue to learn history including social justice. My future goal is to someday work in these areas to help emphasize the need to make civil rights stronger to reduce discrimination, have criminal justice reform to help protect people’s rights while reduce crime, and many others.

I strongly believe that you are making a great difference for society.  I’m very proud on how you are working hard to support Civil Rights, push for criminal justice reform, and advocate for common sense ideas. Also I truly appreciate on how you are a moderate Republican.  You have inspire me to work hard on my disability and to continue to learn history including social justice.   Thanks for taking the time to read my letter, working hard to make a great difference, and inspire me. Please continue to work hard to make a great difference for society.

Sincerely,

Matt Winick
