Good afternoon,
I humbly request your support and your vote in the March Republican Primary as it is my mission to continue serving you as Bee County Sheriff.
During my 8 years as your Sheriff, I have strived to ensure that Bee County is a safe place to live and raise a family and I pledge to continue this vital work.
I am proud of the relationships I have built with the people of this county and the environment of true community policing and involvement that I have helped create.
I hope you will join me in continuing to keep Bee County safe and support my re-election effort. Thank you!
Alden Southmayd III
Sheriff Bee County
I know this man, I know his heart, and I hope you’ll help by standing up and saying:
“I’m for Alden Southmayd to be our Sheriff!”
