In this race, the winner will be decided on May 19.

For Campbell County Judge Executive, the Republican Primary on May 19, 2026 will determine the Republican nominee for the office.  No one else has signed up to run against the winner of this election in November.

When that occurs, the voters who participate in the primary are often the ones who ultimately determine who will serve in that role.

Why Turnout Matters

Primary elections historically see significantly lower participation than general elections.

As a result, decisions that affect every resident of Campbell County, regardless of party affiliation, can be shaped by a relatively small number of participating voters.

In practical terms, the direction of county government can be influenced by who chooses to show up on May 19.

What This Office Actually Impacts

The Judge Executive’s office plays a direct role in decisions involving:

• Transportation planning and congestion relief

• Infrastructure investment

• Public safety funding and budgeting

• Growth and land-use policy

• Long-term financial planning

• Regional coordination with state and neighboring jurisdictions

These are long-term decisions that affect how Campbell County grows, how effectively it manages traffic and development pressures, and how responsibly taxpayer resources are invested.
