Dudley Hall Regretfully Drops Out Of Sheriff’s Race

Announces Endorsement of Chuck Anderson For Sheriff



Dudley Hall has wanted to serve the citizens of Jackson County as their sheriff for a long, long time. He probably would have become our sheriff had his lifespan not overlapped the time that our tremendously popular, long time sheriff "Johnny Mac" McDaniel was filling the role. Dudley even dared to run against McDaniel on two occasions….that is how badly he wanted the job.
But now it looks like his dream is never to be fulfilled. At the very moment when it appeared the pathway might be open for him to become the "high sheriff", because of the announced retirement of McDaniel, fate struck Dudley with a cruel blow. He has cancer.
Although the prospects for whipping this dreaded malady in submission are good, Hall has a tough battle before him during the coming months. This would certainly be the wrong time for him to engage in a competitive campaign for the position he so dearly wants to hold. Thus, this week he announced to the Jackson County Times that he is officially withdrawing from the race.
During our interview with Dudley, he stated that he appreciated all of the loyal supporters and friends who have helped him in his campaign. He stated that he now wants to throw his support to help Chuck Anderson in his quest to become the next sheriff. "I am supporting Chucky Anderson because I feel he will bring a new level of energy and freshness to the department, he has the necessary training and law enforcement experience, has a solid background in management, and has a warm, friendly personality that everyone responds to," Hall stated.
Dudley Hall has many friends and supporters in Jackson County. We all wish him well and God’s blessings.
