Greene County Sheriff Marcus Simms announced he will run for another term in office.
âAs a conservative Democrat, I will continue to have the sheriffâs office always put our citizensâ needs and rights first,â Simms said.
This would be his first full four-year term. Simms was appointed interim sheriff 2019 following the death of Brian Tennant, and won a special election that year to fill the remainder of Tennantâs term, set the expire at the end of this year.
Throughout the pandemic, Simms said, he and the members of the office looked for new ways to assist the community, including implementing an additional shift to help other agencies. While the courthouse was closed, he said sheriffâs employees used a satellite office to continue to issue concealed carry permits to constituents in the county.
