Walker County Sheriff Steve Wilson, is seeking re-election to a seventh term, unopposed.

Wilson began his law enforcement career with the FBI in Washington, D.C. He graduated from the police academy at Floyd Junior College in 1981. He served more than five years as a patrolman for the LaFayette Police Department until 1986.

He then became a Walker County Deputy.  He was promoted to detective the following year.  Wilson also served as an agent and Commander of the Lookout Mountain Judicial Circuit Drug Task Force for seven years, prior to being elected Sheriff.

“During the next four years, our #1 priority will be our continued drug enforcement efforts with the Lookout Mountain Judicial Drug Task Force”, Wilson said.  “If we can suppress the drug use and sales in Walker County, all other crimes will decline”.

Wilson says he also supports Governor Kemp’s efforts to eradicate gang activity in the State.
