In Tuesday night’s election for Monticello mayor, police chief, Jason Akers, defeated former mayor Joe Rogers and Bart Gregory, and was elected Mayor of Monticello.

Akers is a career law enforcement officer, and has served as local police chief since current mayor, Paige Chase, was elected and appointed him as MPD’s chief.

I want to give thanks to God, my family, friends and supporters. I am humbled by the support that each of you have shown throughout the last year and the words of encouragement. It sincerely means the world to me.

With that being said we have another obstacle to overcome and that is a runoff election on December 6th.

So please let’s keep the faith and momentum alive as we continue on this journey together in order to make Drew County a better and safer place to live, work, visit but most importantly raise a family.

Thank you and God Bless,

Tim Nichols
Drew County Sheriff Candidate
