Steve Stroberger Wins District 1 Commission Seat, Ousting Jeff Bergosh
August 21, 2024
Steve Stroberger has won the Escambia County Commission District 1 seat, ousting incumbent Jeff Bergosh.
In a three-way race, Stroberger received 4,793 votes (54%). Bergosh had 3,260 votes (37%), while Jesse Casey received 795 (9%).
“This wasn’t the result I expected, nor is it the one I anticipated, but the District 1 voters have spoken and they have elected new leadership to take this district in a new direction, Bergosh said. “I will work with the new commissioner elect over the next several months to ensure a smooth transition in November. I’ll be taking tonight with my family and will have no more comment on this election this evening. I’ve already called and have spoken personally to Mr. Stroberger to congratulate him on his victory.”
Stroberger is a retired Navy office and marine. He worked in the private sector primarily in the aerospace and defense industries.
Bergosh has served on the Escambia County Commission since 2016, following 10 years on the Escambia County School Board.

Bergosh Be Gone!
Voters are fed up with career politicians! Thank you voters in Escambia and Santa Rosa for cleaning house. Booting incumbents such as “Godzilla” Bergosh and that Trump wannabe Calkins is the best way to affect change.
I wish all the commissioners had to daily drive Pine Forest north of the interstate during peak times of the day. I believe if they did the problem would be fixed.
I’m proud of the residents of Escambia County for voting Bergosh out. Im a resident of Santa Rosa and We got rid of two Commissioners that needed to go also. To the newly elected Commissioners just remember that if You do the right thing for Your Constituents You will be able to keep Your jobs, but if not You will be fired in 4 years.
Congratulations Mr. Stroberger. We are thrilled & excited for our district.
Will Godzilla resurface?
Begosh is be gone huh?
CONGRATULATIONS STEVE:
LOOKING FORWARD TO DECISIONS IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF LOCAL RESIDENTS, WITH OPPORTUNITIES TO VOTE THEIR OVERWHELMING APPROVAL. DISTRICT 1 SAYS, “GIVE IT YOUR BEST SHOT !!”
One can hope this is a positive for Pensacola. Next get rid of Judges that make questionable decisions and allow predators to continue victimizing the community. Family court should protect victims not excoriate them and punish them for seeking help. Pitre is worthless in cases of abuse.
Glad to know this is still a Navy town. The cream always rises to the top.
Congratulation Sir!
Congratulations Steve was wonderful to have you at the Avondale Neighborhood meeting earlier this month. We are thrilled you won and look forward to the changes you will make in our District.

Congratulations to Mr Steve Stroberger!
Mr Bergosh should have many items named after him. They include 1) the money wasted on the jaw (and car) shattering speed bumps on Perdido Key Drive, which had to be removed 2) The accident prone round about he had built for his buddy that owns Terra Firma who gains by increasing the land value of his non water front properties 3) The total change in the beach landscape which is he responsible for by overcrowding the beaches by creating more accesses across the dunes, while not respecting the nearly extinct Perdido Beach Mouse and the Turtle nesting grounds only to help Terra Firma, Lost Key and the hotel development lobbies,4) Perdido Key had an appeal, which was great place to go without the overcrowding that Destin has seen. He was totally for changing Perdido Key to look like congested Destin 5) the congested apartments at the foot of Perdido Key Bridge 6) The promotion of Lost Key look alike places that have the appearance of government low income housing projects in front of the world class condos 7) inadequate water supply to Perdido key due to an inadequate pipe size, leaving the economic engine, the beach front condo owners with water pressure issues on high floors 7) his catering to developers and hotel builders and the alcohol lobby that want to change the quality of life on Perdido Key, which brings a large portion of the taxes to Pensacola.8) and the list goes on. Perdido Key Pensacola is one the last beautiful sanctuaries that has its own appeal and brings tourist and tax revenues to Pensacola. Mr Steve; we voted him out so you could pick up the challenge and preserve this beautiful place !
Please return Innerarity Point to District 2.
I am SO glad that one of the 4,793 votes for Stroberger was mine and we all voted the liar out of District 1! Hopefully the door will hit your bumbum on the way out, Bergosh! Good Riddance….
Old saying is just as true today as back then…
All politicians should be changed like a diaper, and for the same reason.
Well, Well the ole Banty Rooster finally got his feathers plucked! About time!
I guess the Waffle House employees and morticians get the last laugh Jeffy. See ya!
So now it’s Stroberberger and Kohler vs May and Barry.
The new D4 Commissioner will be needed by both sides to make 3, a majority.
CONGRATULATIONS, Commissioner Stroberger we are So Very Happy and Encouraged by Your VICTORY.
Bergosh likely lost due to all theapartments,condos and strip malls put up on 9 mile and Pine Forest thru his votes, YET NOTHING DONE ON PINE FOREST ROADNORTH OF I-10.
COME November , i will vote against any current county
Official running.
Score 1 for term limits! We need to move beyond political dynasties in this county.
