Robert Bender Wins Escambia Commission Seat After His Opposition Withdraws

October 2, 2018

Robert Bender has been elected to the Escambia County Commission from District 4.

“Write-in candidate Leigh Anne Bell has withdrawn as a candidate for the office of Board of County Commissioners, District 4, resulting in an unopposed candidate race. Although it is too late to remove the contest from the November 6 General Election ballot itself due to the lateness of the withdrawal, a vote cast in the race will not change the outcome as the remaining candidate is deemed by law to be elected. Any votes cast in this contest will not be reported or published,”  the Escambia County Supervisor of Elections office said Monday.
