Incumbent Kevin White Keeps Commission Seat
November 5, 2008
Incumbent District 5 Escambia County Commissioner Kevin White has been re-elected to that seat by a more than 8,000 vote margin.
Republican White defeated Democratic challenger Jim Barnett by a wide margin, 63.6 % to 36.4 %. White received 19,447 District 5 votes while Barnett received just 11,110.
White beat his three Republican challengers back in August by almost 1,000 votes more than the other three candidates combined.
White, 42, owns White’s Automotive Repair. He was first elected to the commission in 2000, his first elected office. Barnett, 59, owns Gateswood Sports in Pensacola. Both men live in Molino.
The four year seat on the commission pays $72,819 per year.
Attempts late Tuesday night by NorthEscambia.com to reach White on three phone numbers we have for him were unsuccessful.
