Incumbent Robert Bender Prefiles For Escambia County Supervisor of Elections
April 18, 2024
Incumbent Escambia County Supervisor of Elections Robert Bender prefilled Wednesday for the seat as a Republican in the 2024 election.
Bender, a former county commissioner, was sworn in as Supervisor of Elections on January 31, 2024, after being appointed by Gov. Ron DeSantis. Bender replaced David Stafford who stepped down effective January 15 after 19 years in office to join the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency as an election security advisor.

Sonja Daniel should have this job.
Bender is not qualified for the job. good old boy system
Indeed, Sonya should have been the obvious choice. Also, wasn’t Bender one of the commissioners involved in taxpayer ripoff retirement scam? Nothing but thieves in our government.
Interesting that Mr. Bender was the first county political leader to jump into the now, certified illegal, retirement benefits.I can’t support Mr. Bender for any future offices.
From the story on December 20th:
“Stafford has asked Gov. Ron DeSantis to consider appointing his Chief Deputy Supervisor Sonya Daniels to fill the final year of his term.”
Instead, the Governor chose Mr. Bender. I don’t often disagree with Gov.DeSantis, but this time I do disagree. If Sonya Daniels chooses to run for the office, I will vote for her because she has worked in the office for several years and knows the system.
