TYLER — Grassroots America – We the People has agreed to a one-time showing of videos of the Smith County sheriff’s candidates. The videos show interviews conducted by Grassroots America in its effort to choose a candidate for endorsement; the group ended up endorsing Larry Smith. According to KETK, in June, Chris Green’s campaign asked that tapes of all four original candidates be made public. Now Grassroots has agreed to release only the tapes of the remaining candidates, Green and Smith.

If you would like to see the videos for yourself, you can do so tonight at Lakeview Church of the Nazarene, 10818 University Blvd. (Spur 248), Tyler. The event runs from 6 till 8:30 p.m., including preliminary activities; total run time of the tapes is 2 hours and 15 minutes. Grassroots will not allow recording of any kind at the event, even by the media. Grassroots Executive Director JoAnn Fleming adds, “These videos will not be posted on-line, will not be made available for download, nor will they be reproduced in any way for distribution.” Fleming said her group consulted its attorney before making its decision to show the tapes and implement the rules for the showing.
