Kimble Medley, a former Flagler County deputy elections supervisor and former deputy clerk of court, has filed to run for Flagler County supervisor of elections.

Kimble Medley's campaign emailed the following statement to the press Dec. 3:

Kimble Medley Announces Her Candidacy for Flagler County Supervisor of Elections:

Citing her breadth of County Government, private sector and volunteer experience, as well as her awards as a scholar in leadership and management, Kimble Medley today formally announced her candidacy for Flagler County Supervisor of Elections. “The Office of Supervisor of Elections, regardless of its location, is the cornerstone of democracy and has been since our founding”, says Medley, who believes service, education, and involvement with ALL of the community and its organizational leaders are absolute requirements of that office and its Supervisor. “I am running because our residents deserve the fullest opportunity to register and vote; and, by implementing long overdue reforms needed to bring the office into the 21stcentury, I will create an environment and office all voters and candidates can trust," she said.

Of particular importance to SOE candidate Medley is that ALL elections are run fairly and honestly, and that every vote matters. “I will require everyone in the office, starting with me, to know and execute ALL election laws, and I pledge to provide complete, accurate, and timely materials for all candidates and voters”. Ms. Medley knows the job inside out. "As your former Deputy Supervisor of Elections, I was in charge of election security; voting machine failsafe operations; poll worker training; voter registration and party change; petition verification; and, certification of precinct voting sites and equipment”, she concluded.

Paid by Kim Medley, Republican, for Supervisor of Elections.

This is her second run for the position: Medley, a Republican, also ran for elections supervisor in 2012, losing to Kimberle Weeks, a Democrat. (The Palm Coast Observer's candidate Q&A with her from that race can be viewed here.)

Medley recently graduated from the Flagler Chamber's first Flagler Public Leadership Institute class, and is now the third person to file for the 2016 Flagler County supervisor of elections race.

The elections supervisor position is now held by an interim elections supervisor, Kaiti Lenhart. Lenhart was deputy elections supervisor when Weeks stepped down suddenly after Weeks was arrested and charged with 12 felony counts pertaining to the illegal recording of private conversations. Lenhart, through the governor's appointment, took Weeks' place.

Lenhart, a Republican, has also filed to run for the supervisor of elections position (view her candidate statement here), as has a third candidate, Abra Seay (view her statement here), a former elections office employee and an administrator with the Flagler Schools Early Childhood Education department. Seay is also a Republican.
