April Allison Culbreath has been serving Manatee County since 1997, when she began her work as Sheriff’s Deputy.

Over the course of her 26-year career in public service, she has served in almost every possible law enforcement capacity.

She counts her greatest accomplishments to be her services as a Crimes Against Children detective and her volunteer work as Deputy Advisor to troubled Manatee County youth.

April entered the political realm in 2016, when she began volunteering locally for the Republican Party. She has served in multiple Manatee County Republican leadership positions.

Now retired from law enforcement due to injuries sustained in the line of duty, she looks forward to continued service as Manatee County Commissioner.

Together with her husband, Duane, she is raising three teenagers.

April and her family are committed to their Christian faith and to the Manatee County community.
