Former Assessor's Office Employees Supporting Sterling Jetton - And Response

  • Sunday, February 14, 2016

I’m excited and proud to be among many former employees of the Assessor’s Office to endorse Sterling Jetton for Assessor of Property. 

Knowing two of the candidates as well as I do, I wasn't surprised to see that former Assessor Claude Ramsey and current Assessor Bill Bennett chose to publicly endorse Sterling. Mr. Bennett referred to Sterling as the "Conscience of the Office."  

Having worked for the Assessor’s office for 27 years, Sterling’s experience is evident. Beyond that, we applaud Sterling’s integrity and temperament and know how vital those qualities are in effective leadership. Along with his experience, as well as truly being a Godly man of high character, Sterling is the best candidate in the race to serve Hamilton County taxpayers. 

Please join me and the former employees below in supporting Sterling Jetton in the March  election.  

Rick Burton, 12 years

I worked with Sterling for 15 years in the Assessor's Office. I can't think of anyone else that could do the job with the knowledge of the ins and outs of the office and the employees.  I believe he would be a fair boss. I also worked for the last two assessors that are supporting Sterling, which should tell you something of the man Sterling is.

Good luck, Sterling.
