Editor’s Note: Billy Jack Valentine has declared his candidacy for Henderson County Sheriff’s Office and issued the following statement.
I would like to announce and declare my candidacy for Henderson County Sheriff. I will file in the 2016 Republican Primary.
I have been preparing for the past 10 years to run for Sheriff of Henderson County. I have been asked by many citizens of Henderson County to lead the Henderson County Sheriff’s Office as the Henderson County Sheriff.
I was born and raised in Henderson County and have lived in Henderson County for 40 years of my life. I have been in Law Enforcement for almost 20 years and have been a Peace Officer in this county for over 15 years. I have been a Jailer, Reserve Officer, Patrol Officer, Patrol Sergeant, Investigator, Constable and Chief of Police. I am currently a Criminal Investigator for the Henderson County Sheriff’s Office.
I have been married to my wife Kim Valentine for 15 years and we have two sons, Clane and Dakota. My wife and I live in Murchison, Texas and own a small horse farm there.
I have been involved in the county for many years and strive to make the county I live and work in a better place for everyone. I want the citizens to be more involved in the Henderson County Sheriff’s Office and this is a plan I have in place. When we all have a main goal that we strive to achieve, Henderson County will be a better place for all citizens.
My treasurer is my wife Kim Valentine. My telephone number is 903-469-3437. And my address is 13602 FM 773 Murchison, Texas 75778. If you have any questions or ideas that you would like to speak to me about, please feel free to call or write. If you call we can meet and speak one on one.
Thank you for your support.
