    Stewart announces candidacy for Greene County Commissioner District 3

    My name is Jacqueline Stewart, and I’m running for Greene County Commissioner, District 3. I’m running because I believe our community deserves strong leadership, responsible decisions and a clear vision for the future. This county is more than just where we live, it’s our home.

    MOVING FORWARD WITH YOU IN MIND

    Like many other counties, we are facing real challenges maintaining our roads, supporting public safety, and making sure our tax dollars are spent wisely.

    If elected, my priorities are simple and focus on what matters most to you.

    • Infrastructure – we all know the conditions of our roads and I will make sure that our roads and bridges are properly maintained.
    • Public Safety – Our law enforcement, firefighters and EMS deserve our full support. I would make sure that they have the resources they need to keep our community safe and provide us with services.
    • Economic Development – Work with the Industrial Board to attract good jobs while supporting our local businesses. Work alongside the hospital and school board to assist in any way possible.
    • Transparency and accountability – I will always be open, accessible and willing to listen

    I would like to continue the leadership and dedication of Commissioner Corey Cockrell. His commitment to serving this community, especially our senior citizens, our youth, and our county. He has laid a strong foundation and I’ m committed to that vision.

    I’m not running to make promises I can’t keep. I’m running to work hard, listen carefully, and make decisions that put our community first.

    Together we can move forward.

    On May 19, 2026, I ask for your support, your vote, and your trust to elect me as Greene County Commissioner, District 3.
