GAWTP Endorses Larry Smith for Sheriff

SMITH COUNTY – By a unanimous vote of its board of directors, Grassroots America – We the People endorses Larry Smith for Smith County sheriff. Smith is a veteran of 34 years in law enforcement. According to a statement from the citizen group, “Smith understands that to run a law enforcement agency successfully, he must provide consistent leadership and high standards, the right tools, and the right training for his people. The fact that he has ‘walked in the shoes of the men and women’ we depend upon for safety, security, and justice convinced us he understands how to lead a group of public servants who willingly put their lives on the line every day.” Smith faces Bobby Garmon, Chris Green, and Donn Rust in the May 29 GOP primary.
