Incorrect answer:

YES, you may use your official legislative letterhead with the state seal on it to endorse your friend for the office of Sheriff, so long as the state seal on your letterhead is merely a facsimile and is not exactly two and one-half inches in diameter (the size of the official state seal which may only be used by the Secretary of State in an official capacity) is INCORRECT.

While you may send a letter on your official legislative letterhead with the state seal on it if the contents of the letter are in connection with a legislative or state function, it is not appropriate to use state resources such as your official legislative letterhead to endorse a candidate for office.
