Bryan says,

“Gerry Simmons is the right man for the job of Sheriff in Columbia County.  When I think of a Sheriff a few words come to mind, Honesty, Integrity, Dedication and Loyalty.  These are all words that anyone who knows Gerry could use to describe him and his career both in Law Enforcement and as a United States Marine.  With over 27 years of service with the Columbia County Sheriff’s Office and more than 19 years of service both on active duty and as a Marine Corps Reserve.   Gerry has proven that he has dedicated his life to serving not only the citizens of our Nation but also the citizens of Columbia County.”
