WHY JARED IS RUNNING FOR SHERIFF

My name is Jared Hudson, and I am running for Jefferson County Sheriff. I have served my country as a U.S. Navy SEAL and Alabama Law Enforcement Officer. Today, I believe I can best serve my community as your Sheriff. For the past 13 years, I have used my expertise to train police departments from around the nation, including departments from the five largest cities in America. Now, I feel called to provide those services of leadership and skill to my own community, which I share with you. As a Christian, husband, father of three daughters, and member of this community, I am ready to protect this community and make it a safe place for all of our families to thrive without fear.
