A matter of service: Lincoln County Sheriff announces bid for reelection

Lincoln County Sheriff Steve Rushing has borne that badge for 20 years. He’s asking to keep it for at least another four. “Since 2006, it has been an honor and privilege serving as Lincoln County Sheriff,” Rushing said. “For over 30 years I have dedicated my entire law enforcement career to serving and protecting the citizens of Lincoln County, with the last 20 years as your sheriff.” Rushing is a native of Lincoln County, and a graduate of West Lincoln School, Copiah-Lincoln Community College and the University of Southern Mississippi. A member and deacon of Pleasant Grove Baptist Church, he has been married to Cassandra King Rushing for 32 years. They have three children and two grandchildren. “2027 brings another election year for the position of Lincoln County Sheriff, and after prayerful consideration, with support from my family and staff, I intend to run for reelection,” Rushing said.
