District 5 Incumbent Kevin Stephens Pre-Files To Seek Reelection
February 1, 2024
Incumbent Kevin Stephens pre-filed Wednesday for District 5 ECUA board member as a Republican.
Stephens has served one term after defeating Larry Walker in 2020. Walker served on the ECUA board for nearly three decades – from 1988 to 2000 and 2004 to 2020.

Jason agree…time for some new people..
Reading all these comments fills me with confidence there will be lots of new names with all the answers running for dist. 5 offices.
YEAH RIGHT !
Jason nailed it!!!!! They all need to go, now. Uh
Ck his address…#5?
@Jason – Ditto!
Cannot vote for a man that won’t return phone call after numerous requests. Hope you lose.
Correct Jason.
I’m old but, have now forgotten my vow on this forum to vote Keven Stevens out for the raises and hikes in rates he voted for.
Amen Jason! You said it buddy & I totally agree! Another politician wants your vote. People have said me, the rate increase was so small, they needed it. Well it’s like this. If you can’t do your job without wanting more money from the public then get out. Don’t tell me your problems & expect me to pay for it. The board does not know how to solve problems. ECUA is essential services, water, sewer, trash collection are all services essential in today’s society & they are a state created entity. They are not a “for profit private business”. The board will not find a solution to recycling problems by raising rates but that is the course they followed. The deflection they used as an excuse. Got problems with a recycling contractor? Find a new contractor. Don’t tell me you can’t, that means you don’t want too. Recyclable trash is going to be contaminated, get over it & sort it, do what you are paid to do. Don’t want to do that? Then get out! Quit! Go out of business but don’t expect me to pay for your inability to produce or perform a task. Now you want me to vote to re-elect incumbent incompetence? No! Forget it, nada, no way. From county commissioner on down the line I will not vote for anyone of the three. Not Barry, not Slayton, & not Stephens.
@ Jason, I totally agree, but who’ll run against them?
@Jason
Couldn’t agree more.
Another incumbent that needs to be sent packing in November 2024. He has voted to impose every rate increase and new fee that has been proposed to the ECUA. He loves spending other peoples money helping ECUA grow and grow and grow.
IMHO, not one of the elected official in District 5 — Steven Barry, Bill Slayton or Kevin Stephens — is worthy of being re-elected.
