Robert McKamey Seeking Re-Election in District 5

(Submitted) Robert McKamey has announced that he will seek re-election to his seat representing District 5 in the upcoming Republican primary, set for May 5, 2026

The 5th District encompasses the Clinton High School, Dutch Valley, Grand Oaks and Norwood voting precincts.

I previously represented the old District 3 on commission from 1982 to 1994, and have represented District 5 since 2006.

During my time on commission, I have served as the 16-member panel’s chairman, as well as served as chair of the Insurance Sub-Committee, Jail Project superintendent, and chair of the Legislative Committee. In addition I have served as chairman of the 2010 Redistricting Committee, E-911 Board of Directors, Long Range Planning Committee, and CASA’s Board of Directors.
I served as EMS Director from 1974 to 1994. I am a Disabled U.S. Army veteran who served in the Vietnam War, and I was “instrumental in establishing a full-time Veterans Service Office” to serve the other military veterans in Anderson County.

I was instrumental in establishing the Anderson County Senior Center, as well as tourism and industrial development in the county. As your county commissioner, I feel my knowledge of how government works and my proven record of being able to work with other commissioners and elected officials serves our district well.

I look forward to serving the residents of the 5th District for four more years and sincerely ask for your vote and support May 5,2026.
