About Me – Ricky Collett, Candidate for Cherokee County Commissioner, Post 1
I’m Ricky Collett, a lifelong resident of Cherokee County, a husband, a father, and a career public servant with over 35 years of experience serving our community.
I started my journey in public service as a teenager, volunteering at Circle Five Volunteer Fire Department in the Macedonia community. From there, I went on to serve five years with the City of Hapeville Fire Department before returning home to Cherokee County in 1996, where I’ve proudly served ever since.
Along the way, I also had the honor of serving three years with 9-1-1, where I gained valuable experience in emergency communications and public safety operations. I worked my way through the ranks overseeing daily operations, safety, and emergency response for our county.
Throughout my career, I’ve been fortunate to serve in many specialized roles, including, fire investigator, paramedic, hazardous materials technician, incident safety officer, and public safety diver. I also had the privilege of leading the dive team for several years, where I worked alongside some of the best in underwater rescue and recovery operations. I later served as the Accreditation Manager, helping maintain the high standards of service that our citizens deserve.
I’ve spent my entire life living, working, and raising my family here in Cherokee County. My wife and sons-in-law also serve in public safety, and like you, we want Cherokee County to continue to be a great place to live for generations to come.
That’s why I’m running to be your Post 1 County Commissioner. My promise is to bring the same dedication and leadership I’ve shown throughout my career to the Commission, focusing on:
• Low Taxes
• Better Roads and Infrastructure
• Public Safety First
• Improved Parks and Community Spaces
• Protecting Our Cherokee County Way of Life
I believe in putting our community first, keeping government accountable, and making sure Cherokee County remains a place we’re all proud to call home. I would be honored to earn your trust and your vote.
