{"biography":"Cameron Lee McGill is the incumbent Republican commissioner for District\u202f3 on the Bladen County Board of Commissioners and is a candidate for the November\u202f3,\u202f2026 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\u2011use planning [10].\n\nMcGill has deep roots in the community.  He grew up in Bladen County, became a Baptist minister at age\u202f15, and pastored the First Baptist Church of Dublin for 18\u202fyears 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].\n\nHis entry into elected office began in late\u202f2020 when he was appointed to fill the unexpired term of Commissioner Russell Priest, who died unexpectedly.  He was elected by the voters in December\u202f2020 to complete that term and was subsequently reelected in the November\u202f2022 general election, winning roughly 60\u202f% of the vote [9][1].  According to the county\u2019s official directory, his current term runs from December\u202f2022 through December\u202f2026, positioning him for the upcoming 2026 race [10].\n\nDuring his tenure, Commissioner McGill has chaired District\u202f3 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 \u201cBiblical perspective\u201d to governance and a commitment to community growth and local development, as highlighted in a recent interview on the Jackson\u202fRobol Show [8].\n\nMcGill\u2019s campaign platform focuses on faith\u2011based leadership, economic opportunity for Bladen County residents, and preserving the county\u2019s rural character.  He stresses the importance of serving \u201cfor\u201d the community rather than merely opposing opponents, and he advocates for policies that align with his religious convictions while respecting constitutional rights [9].\n\nHe resides at 1930 White Lake Drive, White Lake, NC\u202f28337, and can be reached by phone at 910\u2011872\u20111726.  An official portrait is available on the county website.\n\n## Sources\n- [1] [Cameron McGill (Bladen County Board of Commissioners District 3, North Carolina, candidate 2022) - Ballotpedia](https://ballotpedia.org/Cameron_McGill_(Bladen_County_Board_of_Commissioners_District_3,_North_Carolina,_candidate_2022))\n- [8] [Meet Cameron McGill, Bladen County Commissioner, now ...](https://www.facebook.com/jacksonrobolmedia/videos/meet-cameron-mcgill-bladen-county-commissioner-now-running-for-district-3-in-bla/989694605933596/)\n- [9] [A man of faith; a voice of wisdom to Bladen County | Bladen Journal](https://www.bladenjournal.com/news/107591/a-man-of-faith-a-voice-of-wisdom-to-bladen-county)\n- [10] [Cameron McGill - Bladen County](https://bladennc.govoffice3.com/index.asp?SEC=9E1E8C6A-BCB9-452F-8BBF-07B54C55C37D&DE=B8A9E7B3-C167-4B1E-A8FB-89EE19A438A9&Type=B_DIR)\n- [11] [Cameron McGill - Bladen County, NC](https://bladennc.govoffice3.com/index.asp?SEC=9E1E8C6A-BCB9-452F-8BBF-07B54C55C37D&DE=B8A9E7B3-C167-4B1E-A8FB-89EE19A438A9&Type=B_DIR&mobile=false)","campaigns":[{"contest":"county_commission_district_03","county":"bladen","county_count":1,"electiondate":"Tue, 03 Nov 2026 00:00:00 GMT","pgr":"general","state":"NC","title":"Bladen County Board Of Commissioners District 03"},{"contest":"county_commission_district_03","county":"bladen","county_count":1,"electiondate":"Tue, 03 Mar 2026 00:00:00 GMT","pgr":"general","state":"NC","title":"Bladen County Board Of Commissioners District 03"}],"cf_filings":[],"firstname":"Cameron","fullname":"Cameron Lee Mcgill","lastname":"Mcgill","middlename":"Lee","office_history":[{"campaigns":[{"contest":"county_commission_district_03","contest_title":"Bladen County Board Of Commissioners District 03","county":"bladen","county_count":1,"electiondate":"2026-11-03","office_county":"bladen","office_key":"county_commission","office_title":"County Commissioner","party":"REP","pgr":"general","state":"NC"},{"contest":"county_commission_district_03","contest_title":"Bladen County Board Of Commissioners District 03","county":"bladen","county_count":1,"electiondate":"2026-03-03","office_county":"bladen","office_key":"county_commission","office_title":"County Commissioner","party":"REP","pgr":"general","state":"NC"}],"county":"bladen","cycles":[{"general":{"contest":"county_commission_district_03","contest_title":"Bladen County Board Of Commissioners District 03","county":"bladen","county_count":1,"electiondate":"2026-03-03","office_county":"bladen","office_key":"county_commission","office_title":"County Commissioner","party":"REP","pgr":"general","state":"NC"},"party":"REP","primary":null,"term":null,"year":2026}],"office_key":"county_commission","office_title":"County Commissioner","state":"NC","terms":[]}],"summary":"Cameron Lee McGill is the Republican incumbent commissioner for Bladen County District\u202f3, running again in 2026 after serving since 2020.","terms":[],"token":"3defd6c865d04852"}
