I am honored to offer my endorsement for my friend, Butch Bryant, in his campaign for re-election as Justice of the Peace.
Butch is a rare kind of public servant—someone whose leadership is rooted in humility, service, and a genuine care for the people he represents. Anyone who has ever met him knows his character immediately: he is kind, steady, thoughtful, and unwavering in his commitment to doing what is right. His calm presence and deep sense of fairness make him exactly the kind of leader our community needs on the bench.

My experience as a retired Air Force Commander and a 25-year retired law enforcement officer, I know Butch is a powerful supporter of law enforcement and the military. He understands the sacrifices made by those who protect our communities at home and abroad, and he consistently stands with the men and women who serve. His respect for public safety, justice, and the rule of law is not political, it is personal, and it shows in the way he carries out his responsibilities every single day.

I am also the owner of Blue Mint Thai in Midlothian and Velocity Investing Group.  Butch and I have spoken often about his vision to grow small businesses and he shops and dines local.  He is a passionate advocate for small businesses and working families. Butch understands the challenges local entrepreneurs face, and he consistently supports policies and decisions that help them grow, thrive, and continue contributing to the strength of our local economy. His deep roots in the community give him a unique perspective, and he never forgets that real families and real livelihoods are shaped by the decisions made in public office.

Above all, Butch Bryant is a man of strong faith and integrity. He brings those values into every room, every conversation, and every decision. His faith-based leadership is grounded in compassion, honesty, and service—qualities that have guided his life and that continue to guide his work as Justice of the Peace. Our community is better because of the way he leads.

For these reasons and many more, I am proud to stand behind Butch Bryant. He has earned our trust, our respect, and our continued support. I am honored to endorse Butch Bryant for re-election as Justice of the Peace and encourage others to join me in supporting a leader who truly embodies faith, fairness, service, and integrity.
