I just interviewed a Mrs. Iris Whiting who volunteers out here in Chinle. She is from California and her late husband, Jerry Whiting, was originally from California. She wants to learn if her husband was related to your family and asked me if I knew how to get in touch with you. I have her email and telephone number if you would like to get in touch with her. She realizes you're busy and it may be a while before you can find the time to contact her, but she seems really interested in this possible family connection. I know a lot of folks out here are interested in genealogy, so I thought maybe you could help her. Hi Mr. Whiting, Cindy Yurth on the Navajo Times here, but I’m not being a reporter at the moment.

HE is a hater of all people and has many other secrets he's hiding...they WILL come out eventually and for the good of Apache County, we need to have Michael Whiting as our County Attorney. HE has been all over our county and doesn't pick and choose to go to places, he goes everywhere. Go Michael we can't wait to vote for you.

He puts his personal matters well ahead of any concerns of citizens. He is the "Mike Nyfong" of Apache County (referring to his zeal to prosecute the innocent to make a name for himself). Thank you Mr. Whiting for presenting the people of this county with an alternative. Mr Candelaria, if you read this, please come to court. Some of us have been waiting a mightly long time for your "justice". Mr. Candelaria is a buffoon this county will do well without. He puts his personal matters well ahead of any concerns of citizens.

I look forward to fairness and respect for all of the citizens. PLUS, I hear he strums a mean guitar and is know as "George Strait" in some regions.

I hope you are doing the same. I want to wish every mother, grandmother and great grandmother a happy mothers’ day. To your question George. As we have discussed before if there are people in Apache County breaking the law they will be prosecuted. Whether they are in county government or not, is irrelevant. When the enforcement of a country’s laws hinge on race, religion, gender or other shifting conditions it is inevitable an aristocracy is being created. Not only is this unwise, but it is unjust and we cannot let this happened in OUR county. I will share with you the creed by which I govern myself as a prosecutor. "The prosecutor has more control over life, liberty and reputation than any other person in America. While the prosecutor at his best is one of the most beneficent forces in our society, when he acts from malice or other base motives, he is one of the worst. The citizen's safety lies in the prosecutor who tempers zeal with human kindness, who seeks truth and not victims, who serves the law and not factional purposes, and who approaches his task with humility." Robert Jackson, U.S. Supreme Court Justice and Attorney General I can’t say it any better than Justice Jackson. I hope this answers your question. George,

“The prosecutor has more control
over life, liberty and reputation
than any other person in America.
While the prosecutor at his best is
one of the most beneficent forces
in our society, when he acts from
malice or other base motives, he is
one of the worst. The citizen’s
safety lies in the prosecutor who
tempers zeal with human kindness,
who seeks truth and not victims,
who serves the law and not
factional purposes, and who
approaches his task with humility.”

Robert Jackson,
U.S. Supreme Court Justice and Attorney General

I can’t say it any better than Justice Jackson. I hope this answers your question.
