Former Game Warden Running for Sheriff

SMITH COUNTY — Republican Chris Green formally announces his candidacy for Smith County Sheriff. Green recently retired as Game Warden and has served as a state peace officer for 20 years. He said he wants to continue what JB Smith has accomplished but also implement a fresh perspective, drawing on the relationships that he has cultivated in all aspects of the community.

Green announced that he is “running on a platform of establishing and maintaining an administration that is ethical, transparent and one with integrity.” He said he wants to run a department that is fiscally responsible with the budget and with officers who lead by example as professional, compassionate servants of the taxpayers.
