Campbell County Judge-Executive Steve Pendery has announced he will seek reelection in 2022.

“I grew up in Campbell County, raised my family here and ran a successful family business. Campbell County will always be my home, and I’ll always fight to ensure Campbell County is a great place for families, with a strong economy and a high quality of life for generations to come.”

Pendery said his next term will be guided by the same philosophy that has marked his years of public service: effectively and efficiently delivering the services Campbell County citizens expect from their county government while protecting the conservative values so important to the people who live here.

“That means keeping taxes and spending low and making sure our elections are fair and secure,” he said. “It means providing internet access and increasing bandwidth for every single household in Campbell County. It means driving economic growth to create jobs but making sure that growth makes sense for our residents, and by ensuring residents are heard, not just informed.”

Faces primary challenge

 

Pendery has served as Campbell County judge executive since 1999. Prior to that he was mayor of Fort Thomas from 1990 to 1998 and a member of the city council there from 1984 to 1990.

He faces one challenger so far in the primary. Campbell County Republican Party Chair Anna Zinkhon
has thrown her hat into the ring for the judge executive position. The deadline to file has been pushed back to January 25, and the primary will be held on May 17. The general election will be held Tuesday, November 8. There
is currently no Democrat filed for the seat.
