Thanks from Rick Wilson, Adair Co. Jailer Elect (Pd. Pol. Adv.) 2010-11-13 - Photo by Sandy Wilson. Columbia, KY To the voters of Adair County, Thank you for electing me as the next Adair County Jailer. I am very appreciative to the good people of Adair County for allowing me this opportunity to continue being a public servant. Thank you for your encouragement, support and hospitality during the campaign. I truly enjoyed traveling the county and talking with many of you. I am very excited about this new challenge. I realize that the jailer's position is one with huge responsibilities and I will not take them lightly. I ask for your prayers as I begin this new journey in my life. As I always have, I will work hard, do my very best and strive for the Adair County Regional Jail to be very successful. I know that it will take the efforts of everyone for this to happen. I would like to take this opportunity to offer my sincere thanks to Eric Antle for running a very respectful race. I look forward to working with Eric and the rest of the staff at the jail. As I leave Adair EMS and Adair County Coroner's office, I am very appreciative for being allowed the opportunity to be part of your lives. I am thankful for the many friendships that I have made over the years. Adair County has always been very good to our family. Sandy, Kacy and I are very thankful to be part of such a wonderful community. Thank you. Rick Wilson Paid for by Rick Wilson Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
