Qualifications

Jeff Bright actually doesn’t have any qualifications to be a County Councilman for District 3 of Oconee County. The only thing Jeff Bright has ever done is talk on the air as well as play music. Jeff Bright worked at Clemson University as a well helping with audio and video until they decided they didn’t need him anymore. Jeff Bright spent time installing radios in buses for the Oconee County School district which is as far as you can get to knowing how to run a county or a district as you can get. Jeff Bright is the court jester that people like to laugh and cut up with and that is it.

Jeff Bright has only one qualification, and that is to be a detractor to hopefully win against Don Mize, and be another vote for those that are trying to push through a huge project to build a walking trail for the county, that is going to cost the Oconee County tax payers lots of money they don’t have.

Jeff Bright History

Jeff Bright was hanging out with James Bartee a person running for Sheriff back in 2012. James Bartee was going to actually do something about the drug trade that has gone unchecked in Oconee County. This worried someone so bad they cooked up a scheme to have James Bartee arrested with an accusation that he was plotting a kidnapping of a judge which was extremely ludicrous but it happened.

According to a SLED report

D. Colgrove further noted “It appears to me that Jeff C. Bright is looking for remote locations for some reason. He also is in and out of high crime areas.” During the meeting with D. Colgrove S/A Sloan received a briefing of his report. D. Colgrove also referred to the recording of James Bartee on the radio challenging J. Edwards to a fist fight. D.

Jerry Edwards connection

Jerry Edwards hired an investigator due to him saying he feared for his safety and the safety of his family.

Preliminary Investigation 
Edwards, Jerry (complainant) 
Bartee, James/ Jeff Bright (suspects) 

This investigation was started by

Dale Colgrove of DCT detection (private 
investigator) on behalf of Jerry Edwards (Seneca Journal)
According to the report Jerry Edwards hired the detective to investigate James Bartee which led to the involvement with Jeff Bright. 

Jerry Edwards according to the SLED report:

Edward’s main concern was the 50 to 60,000 dollars he had paid for the investigation. He felt that he had waisted all of the money because all of the cooperating witnesses and information he provided SLED with were now uncovered. J. Edwards was satisfied with the fact that James Bartee and J. Bright believed SLED was the one investigating him and not a private investigator hired by him. J. Edwards

So according to the report he spent between $50,000 to $60,000 to investigate James Bartee and Jeff Bright, but now we see Jeff Bright hanging tight with Jerry Edwards the same person that spent all that money to investigate believing that Jeff Bright and James Bartee were a threat to Jerry Edward’s and his family.

Jerry Edward support

Things are not adding up, even if you can forgive someone for targeting you and your family you certainly don’t back them later on. This is exactly what we are seeing go on, as if Jeff Bright had been a double agent for someone pulling the strings to destroy James Bartee all along to make sure he didn’t win the bid for the Oconee County Sheriff race he was running.
