December 11, 2023 - During the summer, I was appointed by the Commissioners’ Court to the office of Justice of the Peace, Precinct 4. I have over 26 years of experience in the justice system as a court clerk, Judicial Calendar Coordinator, Judicial Executive Assistant, and, most recently, as a Legal Assistant in the Shelby County District Attorney’s office. I am married to my husband, Cade, and we have a daughter, Logan, and a son-in-law, Hayden. We live in Bobo and enjoy taking care of our cattle, watching college football in the barn, riding horses, and hunting.

December 8, 2023 - I would like to announce my candidacy for Shelby County Sheriff. Many of you know me as I retired as your Sheriff in 2020. I quickly found out I am not ready for retirement. I’ve spent the last three years cooking up some pretty good steaks until about 2 months ago, when I was offered the position of Investigator for the District and County Attorney offices. I have given this a lot of thought and with so many calls encouraging me to run again, I have decided to do so.

Each day this week we're looking at a story behind a carol. Many of the songs that we love to sing during the Christmas season have interesting backgrounds, stories that are sometimes dramatic and often heartwarming. I love the stories behind the carols and hope you'll enjoy these special holiday devotionals.
