“I am so proud of where Campbell County is today and I am honored to have played a part in our success, along with our team at the county and our partners across the region. I am excited to continue building on the strong foundation we’ve laid together so far,” said Judge Pendery.  “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.”

Judge 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.

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.”

The restructuring of the County’s Finance & Human Resources Departments reduced costs by $100,000 per year while increasing efficiency and improving service. The County worked with Sanitation District #1 to create a more equitable rate structure for businesses and residents and partnered with TANK to improve transit services.
