Dear Greene County Citizens,

I have been fortunate to have an extensive career in law enforcement: nearly 16 years as your sheriff and 24 years as an Alabama State Trooper. But before any of that, I was a Greene County Deputy Sheriff. The foundation for my passion for law enforcement was laid in Greene County. I do not take for granted that you have entrusted me with the honor of being your sheriff, and I thank you for your support—do not second-guess yourselves. Rest assured that you have always made the right choice. We have been here before; do not allow seeds of doubt to bear fruit. Let’s be clear, Greene County is my home, too. I am a sheriff by trade, but the heart of who I am, who I was before I entered this role, is a Greene County citizen. I am just like you. I am you: I was born here, I was educated here, my family is here, my home is here, my heart is here. My heart for this community and its people is what guides me. If Greene County does not thrive, if Greene County is not safe, if our county’s resources go under, WE all lose. For these very reasons, this neighbor, classmate, friend, and citizen is asking for your support. Allow me the honor to continue advocating for Greene County, fighting for Greene County, most importantly, protecting and serving Greene County, OUR community, OUR home. A vote for me is a vote for WE because we are in this together.

On May 19th, vote for a Proven Past, Proactive Present and a Fearless Future. Vote for your Sheriff, Jonathan “Joe” Benison.

Sincerely,

Jonathan “Joe” Benison
