Cameron Lee Mcgill

Cameron Lee McGill is the incumbent Republican commissioner for District 3 on the Bladen County Board of Commissioners and is a candidate for the November 3, 2026 election for the same seat. The Board of Commissioners serves as the governing body of Bladen County, responsible for setting county policy, adopting the annual budget, and overseeing local services such as roads, public safety, and land‑use planning ¹⁰.

McGill has deep roots in the community. He grew up in Bladen County, became a Baptist minister at age 15, and pastored the First Baptist Church of Dublin for 18 years before founding the Lake Church in White Lake in 2019. He and his wife Tiffany have been active in ministry and community outreach for more than two decades ⁹.

His entry into elected office began in late 2020 when he was appointed to fill the unexpired term of Commissioner Russell Priest, who died unexpectedly. He was elected by the voters in December 2020 to complete that term and was subsequently reelected in the November 2022 general election, winning roughly 60 % of the vote ⁹¹. According to the county’s official directory, his current term runs from December 2022 through December 2026, positioning him for the upcoming 2026 race ¹⁰.

During his tenure, Commissioner McGill has chaired District 3 and participated in board decisions affecting infrastructure, economic development, and public safety. While specific legislative actions are not detailed in the available sources, his public statements emphasize a “Biblical perspective” to governance and a commitment to community growth and local development, as highlighted in a recent interview on the Jackson Robol Show ⁸.

McGill’s campaign platform focuses on faith‑based leadership, economic opportunity for Bladen County residents, and preserving the county’s rural character. He stresses the importance of serving “for” the community rather than merely opposing opponents, and he advocates for policies that align with his religious convictions while respecting constitutional rights ⁹.

He resides at 1930 White Lake Drive, White Lake, NC 28337, and can be reached by phone at 910‑872‑1726. An official portrait is available on the county website.
