I’m Rodney Wright, a lifelong resident of Gibson County and a Republican candidate for Sheriff in 2026. With nearly three decades of law enforcement experience, I’m committed to protecting our families, serving with integrity, and building a Sheriff’s Office that our community can be proud of.
Dedicated to Service. Committed to You.
About Rodney
I am a lifelong resident of Gibson County and proud to call Yorkville home. As a cancer survivor and a man of faith, I know firsthand the importance of family, health, and serving with gratitude. I’m running for Sheriff because I care deeply about protecting our communities and bringing accountability to the Sheriff’s Office.
Why I’m Running
I am running for Gibson County Sheriff to restore transparency, accountability, and professionalism to the Sheriff’s Office. I will enforce the law equally for all citizens, improve services while keeping costs efficient, and build a department that every resident and employee can be proud of.
With nearly three decades of experience in law enforcement, I have dedicated my career to protecting families and communities across West Tennessee. I currently serve as Senior Criminal Investigator for the Weakley County Sheriff’s Office, where I’ve worked cases ranging from thefts and burglaries to homicides and crimes against children. I’ve also served as a Special Agent with the West Tennessee Violent Crime and Drug Task Force, as well as a member of the Tennessee Meth Task Force and the Tennessee Dangerous Drugs Task Force.
