Hamilton County Republicans Pick Their Candidate For Sheriff
Chattanooga Hamilton County Republican delegates choose their candidate for Hamilton County Sheriff. Jim Hammond got the vote of approval with 148 votes. Vince Dean came in second with 134. Hammond spent 17 years as chief deputy of the sheriff's department. He says he's humbled to get the nomination. His next step is to meet with advisors to formulate the best plan to give the citizens what they want. "I think the citizens want to know that their kids are safe at school. They want to know their family is safe on the road. They want to know they're safe in their homes from those who would break in and steal from them. They want to know they can go out in public without fear of having to be molested killed or hurt. They want to know the one that need to be in jail and they certainly want to know that we're dealing with the drug issues" Independent Jim Winters will also be on the August ballot.

republican/democrat
now i have seen it all! jim hammond works l6 yrs as deputy chief under democratic sheriff, runs as a demorcrat for the office when HQ Evatt decides to retire. now the republican party supports him as candidate to run for sheriff. He not only was not elected as a democrat,with all the cronies supporting him,now the republican party supports him,why did they not just vote for him when he ran as a democrat.
There were two other candidates that were willing to step up and seek the position that I know of who would make a better candidate and keep the democrat/republican politics out to the picture. the best qualififed being Lt Tim Carroll, not only because of his experience, but because of his dedication to law enforcement and the officers that would have been under his command. not the politics he would play when elected. there will be additional comments on this race as the election moves forward.
