Gallia Herald, 3/23/2018

The cynic in Retiring Guy wonders if GOP Gallia County Prosecutor Jason Holdren engineering this to enhance his own name recognation. The daughter of Gallia County Prosecutor Jason Holdren, Rose told President Trump about the time she spent on the campaign trail with her father and how much she enjoyed it.

“My daddy makes a lot of sacrifices to keep the county safe and free from drugs,” wrote Rose. “He works a lot and works hard. That’s how I know and appreciate your hard work and sacrifices and your family, too.”
