The Chattooga County Republican Party has qualified another candidate for political office this morning.  Jamey Dawson qaulified this morning for sheriff on the Republican ticket.  Dawson told AM 1180 that he made the decision to run because it has been a life-long desire of his to serve as sheriff in Chattooga County.  He said that there are several things that he would like to see changed about the sheriff's department, including the way patrol zones are conducted.  Dawson said that he was open-minded about the drug task force issue and that if elected he would take a closer look at keeping things as they are or re-joining the Lookout Mountain Drug Task Force.  Dawson said he was running as a Republican because the GOP has gained in strength in Georgia over the past several years and the party most closely represents his personal beliefs.  Dawson served as a deputy in the Chattooga County Sheriff's Department for 10 years.  He is the owner of Triple J Logging.
