FORT MYERS — Lee Bushong, a former lieutenant with the Lee County Sheriff's Office, will make public his decision to run for Lee County Sheriff at 12:10 p.m. on Saturday, May 7, on the north steps of the Old Courthouse, which is located at 2120 Main St. in Fort Myers.
Bushong was born in 1974 in Ohio. During 1992, he joined the U.S. Marine Corps, where he served two tours. Upon his separation from the Marines, Lee joined the Lee County Sheriff’s Office.
During his career with the Sheriff's Office, he served in a variety of capacities, including patrolman, as a general crimes detective and as a detective in the homicide unit.
After his tour in homicide, he was promoted to sergeant and served as a patrol supervisor. He brought new concepts in aggressive, criminal targeted programs that resulted in removing key criminals in South Fort Myers and Fort Myers Beach. Soon after, he was promoted to detective sergeant, and later lieutenant.
Bushong resigned in December 2009 in order to prepare to run for this office.
He currently lives in the Gateway area of Fort Myers with his wife and children.
Bushong said he believes in accountability and that, as the sheriff, he will be solely responsible for all things within the office - good and bad.
