HENRY COUNTY, Ala. - Henry County Sheriff Will Maddox is not seeking re-election after 16 years in office.Joshua Moore, Eric Blankenship, and Jay Henry have their reasons for wanting the position.
“Protecting the people that all my friends, neighbors, family, has just been a part of my whole adulthood, so once I got into law enforcement and realized how much I enjoyed it and it was kind of like a calling for me,” says Blankenship. “I wanted to do as much as I can for the community, and I felt like being the sheriff I would have the most outreach on the community to help everybody.”
“Crime is going up,” expresses Blankenship. “I would like to put more officers out in our community to detour that crime as much as we can. No matter what goes on throughout this nation, my job as the sheriff would be to protect this county.”
