Steven Barry Keeps Escambia County Commission District 5 Seat For Fourth Term
November 6, 2024
Steven Barry has won a fourth term as the Escambia County District 5 commissioner.
With complete but unofficial results reported Tuesday night, Republican Barry had 21,663 vote (61.78%) to No Party Affiliation (NPA) candidate Joshua Roberson’s 13.404 votes (38.22%).
“I’m truly humbled by the support of my constituents, and for them allowing me the opportunity to continue to serve District 5,” Barry said. “While I’m proud of the work we’ve accomplished, I’m even more excited about all the great work we are going to do in the next four years.”
Barry, a certified financial planner, has operated his small business in District 5 for over 20 years. He was first elected to the BOCC in 2012.
Roberson, a retired Navy aircraft mechanic, ran on the theme “Anchored by the People”. The aircraft structural mechanic’s last duty station was NAS Pensacola, and he moved with his family to Barrineau Park/Molino area in 2020.

I am from Quail Ridge Owners Assoc. Inc. off of W. Roberts Rd.
Just wanted to Thank You again for the Great Help you have been to our Association working with James Holder. It was a Miracle for us that you were able to assist us to complete the NW Pond area. Not only with the Lift Station but to fulfil the County’s requirements.

Sorry he was re-elected. Guess he’ll only keep in touch with his co-horts, as he doesn’t reply to constituents emails. What are his plans for his District to help those in it??
Congrats Steven!!
You are the only person who canvassed my neighborhood and knocked on my door. Thank you and congrats again!
Congratulations Steve! Thankful to keep you in office as you were born and raised here and been a steady part of this community for many years.
@John
Escambia !!
@ Matt. What is wrong with consolidated government? Name me a city or county where it hasn’t worked.
We need TERM LIMITS!
Congratulations Steve, we don’t have to worry about Consolidated Government now that Roberson is out of the picture and his downtown crowd!
Congrats Steven!!! God bless!
Congratulations, now widen W. Robert’s Rd.
Term limits!
Mr. Roberson having the support of the downtown crew certainly didn’t help him.
Stop calling and sending me texts now please.
