Letter to the Editor – “Dead souls don’t vote – make yours count”

Letter to the Editor

The residents of Prowers County deserve Public Officials who are committed to serving them.
In a position such as the Coroner, it is especially important to have someone who puts the decedent and their family first.

Not every death in the county is a case that the County Coroner must investigate. In the 2025 Annual Coroner’s Report published by the El Paso County Coroner’s Office, of the 1,431 total autopsies performed in El Paso County, 15 cases were ordered out of Prowers County. That’s 15 autopsies, per year, performed at State Medical Examiner’s Office in El Paso County, ordered by the Prowers County Coroner.

Transparency matters.
Accountability matters.
Education matters.
Experience matters.

Let’s put someone in office who is not and will not be puppeteered by fellow constituents.
Let’s put someone in office to serve our community at their most vulnerable time, and will serve with honor.
Let’s put someone in office who truly wants to be there, and not just to collect a check.
Let’s put someone in office who plans to audit to-date finances and keep the budget within the means of the job, without expecting the community members to pay higher taxes to pay their salary.
Let’s put someone in office who serves the community, not a political party.
Let’s put someone in office who is committed to answering to the public, with  high standards of ethics and integrity.

Dead souls don’t vote.
Make yours count.

– Karleigh Bencomo,
Individual support of Jamie Callaway for Prowers County Coroner
