FORT MYERS, Fla. (August 16, 2012) - The campaign of Lee Bushong for Lee County Sheriff announces major support from the Fort Myers community. Renowned and respected City of Palms community activist and civil rights leader Willie Green has endorsed Lee Bushong for Lee County Sheriff.
Mr. Bushong's consistent hard work in helping to prevent crime and heal the wounds of a violence stricken city have solidified his position as the candidate for Lee County Sheriff who will form a county wide united front in the fight against crime. Mr. Bushong, a former detective lieutenant with the Lee County Sheriff's Office, firmly believes the sheriff's position is one which represents all of Lee County and not just the unincorporated portions.
"Our community has waited a long time for a sheriff who truly believes in doing the right thing and backs it up with actions. I see this in Mr. Lee Bushong. November 6th is the day all of the communities in Lee County can take back the Sheriff’s Office and make our county safe." - Mr. Green also said.
During his eleven years of exceptional service achieving the rank of a commander with the Lee County Sheriff's Office, Lt. Bushong worked diligently to combat crime and lockup criminals no matter where in Lee County they tried to hide. "I can do a lot as a citizen and candidate now. The reality is that I can and will do so much more when Sheriff. November 6th will be a day of independence for law abiding Lee County citizens and a day of judgment for the criminal element." - said Lt. Bushong.
When asked how he felt about being supported by such an exceptional citizen of Lee County, Lt. Bushong said, "I am truly humbled and motivated more than ever before by the support of Willie Green and the thousands of Fort Myers and Lee County citizens he represents. Mr. Green is a man of strong conviction for justice and equality. That speaks directly to me. I will not let Lee County down."
