Green Files for Sheriff

TYLER — Republican Chris Green files an application for a place on the Republican Party General Primary Ballot for Smith County Sheriff. Green recently retired as Game Warden and has served as a state peace officer for 20 years. Green says, “I’ve been a Game Warden for 20 years and have served 16 of those here in Smith County. I have over 4,800 hours in Texas law enforcement training and know the issues that we face in Smith County. I want to implement a fresh perspective, drawing on the relationships that I have 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.” Green says 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. His opponents in the primary so far are Bobby Garmon, Donn Rust, and Larry Smith.
