Lee Announces Run for Commission

By Southern Torch Staff

DeKALB COUNTY, Ala. — Republican businessman and Mentone Fire Department Chief Joseph Lee has announced his intention to seek the seat for DeKalb County Commission — District 1. 

In a press release to Southern Torch, Lee stated: 

"I started at a young age helping my dad with everything from shoeing horses to logging and saw milling.I grew up with this lifestyle and it evolved me into my own business and purchased my first dump truck when I was twenty years old. 

I really enjoy working for the public and trying to help people. I think as District One Commissioner I can do a lot of good work by listening to the people and letting them know that I hear their problems and i'm going to try to fix them. I will accomplish this by posting my number and letting people know that I will call them back as soon as I can. I want to go to their problem areas and look for myself and meet them. 

I've been involved in the volunteer fire dept in mentone where we live for almost twenty years, and have served 11 years as Fire Chief. 

I want to do a lot of things as District One Commissioner, not for recognition, but to better the lives and try to make there everyday life a little better for them. 

I have already met a lot of people all over District One that are great people and I want to meet a lot more and discuss how I can help them in their area."
