Congratulation Commissioner Barry,
You have been doing a Great job for our District & County. Keep up the good work for the people of District 5 and our County. Our prayers are always with you.

Thank you Steven for your loyalty and fairness concerning all the citizens in Escambia county.
1.) Congratulations to Commissioner Underhill on his great victory winning D2seat, I’m excited about the future with you serving the whole community. It takes 5 votes to get our community moving forward. I know you will do this for all citizens no matter what district a citizen lives in that has a need and brings to BCC!
2.) Congratulations to my district Commissioner Robinson on his well deserved re-election. I am excited to see you representing us .
3.) Chairman May what an honor to have you represent our BCC for this past year. You showed much Honor, Integrity and Character
I’m proud to call you friend.
4.) Commissioner Barry, as our new Chairman, I know you will serve all of Escambia County with Respect and Truthfulness
Appreciate you Barbara Mayall
Steven Barry and his staff listen and respond to District 5’s citizens. It’s a shame Escambia County doesn’t have a UNIFIED County Commission, where a problem in District 5 is as important any other district. The courts have settled this issue…have districts with representation by those elected from those districts.
What if we had the Five Escambia Musketeers eh, Commissioners…One for all and all for one?
Too simple!
We are so proud of OUR commissioner Steven Barry and will continue to pray for all of our local leaders to make wise decisions to benefit the entire community.
