Campbell County Judge Executive
By Anna Zinkhon
I am a lifelong resident of Campbell County. I have been able to accomplish much and it is time for me to ‘give back.’
I attended Northern Kentucky University, studied computer services and worked at Kroger’s, Scripps Howard and Chiquita. I left Chiquita to start my own horse boarding business in Campbell County.
Throughout my career, both in the corporate world and also as an independent businesswoman, I have met many other residents. They are good, hard-working people who care about their homes, families, neighborhoods – and other people.
I am running for Campbell County Judge Executive to serve ALL residents of this fine county not just those in select cities.
I am NOT a career politician. I do recognize however, when ordinary people are taken for granted. I know when people are not given basic information about what is happening in our county even in our own neighborhoods. I am running for Judge Executive to provide regular informative updates for all residents.
The position of Judge Executive gives the opportunity to solve problems not by oneself but with others – especially those who are most affected. It is amazing what people working together can accomplish – and it is less costly than simply throwing money at a problem. I am running for Judge Executive to stop wasteful spending.
Our county is one of the fastest growing in our state. That is quite a tribute to our area and its people. We need to be sure that job growth equals the residential growth. I am running for Judge Executive to do just that – produce jobs.
I realize that change is a challenge but ‘status quo’ is no longer acceptable. I believe that a different perspective, a new pair of eyes and thinking “outside the box” can be challenging but also very effective. I am running for Judge Executive to bring a fresh approach and outlook to our county.
I am a woman with the personality skills and tenacity to bring about positive changes to benefit all residents in our county. That in itself is a change.
I am Anna Zinkhon. I am running for Judge Executive in Campbell County to work for you with a new dimension, new outlook and new goals and objectives. I need your vote on May 22!
And this is why I am running for Campbell County Judge Executive.
