The Decisions We Make Now Will Shape Kent County for Decades.
Forward With Purpose.
Sam Shoge is a lifelong Kent County resident, small business owner, former elected official, and father of two running for County Commissioner.
He believes Kent County is a special place to live, work, and raise a family—but preserving that quality of life requires intentional leadership, thoughtful investment, and a clear vision for what comes next.
Moving Kent County Forward With Purpose
Kent County has so much worth protecting: our small-town character, strong community ties, safe neighborhoods, and quality of life. Sam’s campaign is focused on the issues that will shape Kent County’s future.
Strengthening Schools and Supporting Families
Making Kent County a place where young families can stay, grow, and thrive.
Growing the Local Economy
Creating more opportunity for residents, workers, and small businesses.
Expanding Housing Opportunity
Supporting thoughtful housing solutions that fit our communities and meet real needs.
Protecting the Most Vulnerable in Our Community
Ensuring seniors, low-income residents, and families facing hardship are not overlooked as Kent County plans for the future.
Experience That Meets the Moment
