Chris H. Chambless

Supervisor of Elections

I have called Clay County home for over 50 years. Upon graduating from Orange Park High School and serving in the U.S. Air Force, I chose to return to our county and build a home for my wife Kellie and our two daughters. Having served our country while in uniform all over the globe, my belief in the importance of protecting our precious privilege of transparent and professionally conducted elections was certainly reinforced.

In my 27 years of service, I have risen through the ranks from Technical Assistant to the position Assistant Supervisor of Elections.  In 2008, I was bestowed my greatest honor to date when the citizens of Clay County elected me as Supervisor of Elections.
