John Ackerman possesses the No. 1 item necessary to be the next Westmoreland County coroner: qualifications! Hands down, Ackerman’s training, education, certifications and experience raise him over his opponent.

Ackerman worked side by side with me for 18 years and has shown a constant drive and dedication to determine cause and manner of death and to continue his training and education. He exemplifies what a coroner needs to be with his decades of experience in public safety and public service.

Ackerman established the Human Remains Detection Unit that has been utilized by law enforcement numerous times to solve crimes and bring closure to families, and he promises to resume this program. It is no surprise he has acquired numerous endorsements from law enforcement, death investigation professionals and community leaders.

Experience matters!

Republicans: Select “John Ackerman.”

Democrats: Write in “John Ackerman.”
