Title: Chair, Jackson County Board of Commissioners · Republican Next voter decision: Nov 3, 2026: the at-large chairmanship is contested by David J. Rogers (R), Jarrett Crowe (R), Jon Brown (R), Marcia Almond (D), and Bobbi Hopp (D) (Ballotpedia) · Election 2026
Surveillance record
Letson chaired the August 4, 2026 work session where Sheriff Doug Farmer defended the county’s four Flock cameras as a “force multiplier” and commissioners Michael Jennings and Todd Bryson raised concerns about future use and false flags. No vote was taken and none was scheduled. No statement of Letson’s own on the cameras has been found (Jackson County).
The question for him
He presided over the only WNC work session that aired both a sheriff’s defense and real commissioner doubts. Will he schedule a vote before November decides who holds the gavel?
