Jackson County Commissioner Chris Gulley recently announced his intent to seek re-election for District 1.
Gulley stated, “My name is Chris Gulley, and I am honored to announce my re-election campaign for the Jackson County Commission District 1 seat.
It has been a privilege to serve as your commissioner for the past three years. I believe public service is a calling, and there is no greater reward than helping others.
To share a little about myself, I grew up in Stevenson.
I am married to Alyson Bryant Gulley, and we are blessed with four children.
I am a United States Army veteran, a former police officer, and I have served as a volunteer firefighter for 35 years.
I am a member of the Fackler Fire Department and the Scottsboro-Jackson County Rescue Squad.
I am also a member of American Legion Post 30 in Scottsboro and the Bridgeport Lions Club.
Over the years, I have been actively involved in many youth sports organizations, and I am a past Scoutmaster for the Boy Scouts of America.
I served on the Jackson County Healthcare Authority Board of Directors for 12 years, including nine years as chairman.
I currently serve as Vice President of the Alabama Onsite Wastewater Association, elected by my peers in the industry.
I am also serving my second term, appointed by the Lieutenant Governor, on the Alabama Onsite Wastewater Board, where I have served as chairman for the past five years, helping protect public health and hold contractors accountable for violations of public health laws.
I own Gulley Construction and Gulley Septic Services in Stevenson, where we have proudly operated for more than 25 years.
Four years ago, I also opened Gulley Hardware in Bridgeport as a service to our community.
I have been deeply involved in our local communities throughout my adult life, and I believe the best way to serve citizens is to stay involved in community organizations and events.
The Jackson County Commission has made great strides over the past three years in putting the needs of our citizens first.
My fellow commissioners and I have worked well together, and together we have accomplished a great deal.
To mention just a few of those accomplishments: we opened the Jackson County Courthouse Annex to streamline public services in one location with ample parking and no stairs to climb, with special emphasis on accessibility for our senior citizens.
We started a strip paving program for Public Works, made public water improvements throughout the county, and allocated and paved more than 125 miles of roads in the past three years.
We also helped bring high-speed internet service to areas of the county that had previously gone unserved.
There are many more accomplishments I will be sharing in the days ahead.
But there is still much more to be done.
I want to continue working for you, for all the citizens of Jackson County.
I humbly ask for your support, your vote, and the opportunity to serve another term as your Jackson County Commissioner for District One.
Please vote on May 19, 2026.”
