Josh Biddix For County Commissioner

03/04/2026

Congratulations to Wayne King and Doug Bridges in their primary wins. They will serve our county well and I fully support them.

I would like to thank everyone for the support during this primary. I learned a lot of important lessons, made some good friendships along the way and it was a win for me personally.

I encourage everyone to get involved in their local communities and return to an atmosphere of volunteerism in our society. Be willing to serve others and your country. Serve at your local church, community senior center, veterans organization or local fire department. We are crossing into an era that resembles JFK’s 1961 inaugural speech, “Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country”.

Thank you to everyone!

I’ve spent my life serving our country and community. As a Marine, a police officer and a small business owner.

I will fight to cut taxes, bring in manufacturing jobs and bring transparency.

Today, leadership that fights For The People takes the lead.

Stand with me, Josh Biddix for County Commissioner — proven, poised, and ready to deliver real results.

We have senior citizens who are having to pay property taxes on a payment schedule. The counties budget ballooned from $126,000,000 to $240,000,000 in three years.

It’s time for change in Cleveland County. I will fight in the best interest of the citizens. I will try to lower our tax burden by cutting excess and wasteful spending. I will serve the citizens of our county.

I would appreciate your support in this primary.

Early voting continues through this Saturday. Primary is a week from today. Get out and vote!

Great Judicial Breakfast this past weekend. A lot of insight into what’s happening in the states court system. We need conservative judges who will hold the right people accountable and keep violent offenders in jail. Who will stand for the constitution and who have a long career of experience in the trial court system, not a long career of donating to liberal politicians.

I encourage you to support Matt Smith for Judge this primary.

Early voting continues this week, Monday-Saturday at the new Cleveland County Board Of Elections building and the Lawerence Neal Senior Center in Kings Mountain.

Thank you for your support!

Here’s a link to the commissioners forum held earlier this week. Watch the video, ask questions and I appreciate your support.

Proud to be formally endorsed by the Private Property Rights PAC.

I am a firm believer in the protection of your property and property rights. The government should have very little influence over your property and how you choose to use it.

I have always said, when you pay my mortgage, my insurance and you pay my taxes, then you can tell me what I can do and not do on my own property.

Get out and vote during early voting now through Feb 28th! Primary day is March 3rd. See you at the polls!

Give my feature article a read in The Shelby Independent. I will serve honorably and always stand up for the citizens of our county. I humbly ask for your vote.

It’s been brought to my attention there is a member or two within the GOP saying that I’ve dropped out of the race and endorsed Wayne King.

The lies and games that some play are ridiculous and have no place in local politics, but unfortunately it exists heavily in Cleveland County.

However I do support Wayne King and wish him the best in his campaign. If elected, I know both of us will serve the residents of Cleveland County to the best of our abilities.

I will bring transparency and accountability to our local county. It’s just who I am and a couple of my primary personality traits. I’ve always been a just person. I was raised to never lie. I’ve always stood firm in my beliefs and have always stood for honor and courage. I stood that way during my service in the Marine Corps and during my career in law enforcement.

For a prime example, in 2011 I had to make an extremely tough decision while policing. One I knew would cost me personal gains and impacts for a short time and would cause some friction within the department. I had to report an officer for excessive use of force, but it was the right and just thing to do. This officer had struck and spit in the face of a young handcuffed suspect. I gave the officer a chance to report himself later in the shift, but was simply told, “Is that not how you policed in Asheville?”. No, absolutely not. No matter what a suspect had done, when they were in custody, they were respected and treated fairly. I was known to give suspects water after a fight or a foot chase. Treat everyone as I would want to be treated. I moved forward with filing a formal Internal Affairs complaint and that officer was removed quickly but unfortunately is still in law enforcement today at another agency.

Those types of officers do not belong in policing and they are the reason we’ve seen the distrust in police across the country the last decade. They are a disgrace to the badge and uniform so many wear honorably.

I am one of the strongest supporters of police and first responders you will ever find. Not those types of individuals obviously, which are few and far between, but the men and women who serve honorably and sacrifice so much to serve their community.

I will always be transparent as a commissioner and I will bring accountability to our local government.

I appreciate your support with early voting beginning this Thursday.

God Bless

In a recent media release by Senator Phil Berger on establishing a property tax reform committee….

“These members will examine ways to provide relief from local taxes while ensuring that local revenue is used responsibly to fund core services our constituents rely on.”

The members selected to look at reforms include Appropriations Chairs Sens. Brent Jackson (R-Sampson) and Michael Lee (R-New Hanover), Finance Chairs Sens. Dave Craven (R-Randolph) and Tom McInnis (R-Moore), along with Sens. Lisa Barnes (R-Nash), Jim Burgin (R-Harnett), Steve Jarvis (R-Davidson), Chris Measmer (R-Cabarrus), Tim Moffitt (R-Henderson), and Benton Sawrey (R-Johnston).

“They will consider policy proposals to rein in the runaway property tax practices being implemented across the state.”

I can’t help but notice the use of the word responsible, core services and reining in runaway tax practices.

Cleveland County’s budget for fiscal year 2022-2023 was $126,587,508.

The fiscal year for 2025-2026? $240,300,000.

An increase of over $113,000,000 or 89% increase in just three budget cycles.

We must promote fiscal responsibility. The average family is suffering, cost are out of control everywhere we turn. Our local government must lead by example.

I humbly ask for your support beginning with early voting on Feb 12th!

We are out and about today putting up signs and meeting community members. I need your help in bringing fiscal responsibility, transparency and accountability to our local government. Please message me if you would like a sign or to sit down and discuss topics of your concern in the county. Together we can make a difference.

Early voting begins February 12th!
