Kim Kendall filed Wednesday, March 1, to run for the District 18 state representative seat, which encompasses northern St. Johns County. Kendall is a conservative Republican who said she puts God, family and liberty first.
After receiving her bachelor’s from FSU in public relations, Kendall began working as an FAA air traffic controller and owned two dry cleaners.
Since moving to St. Johns County, she has spent the last 20 years addressing issues such as safety, infrastructure, education, lower taxes, parental control and Judeo-Christian values.
When asked why she has dedicated her time to tackling big matters in Florida and St. Johns County, she said, “It’s my passion and I never back down from a challenge. When I was approached to co-found middle school sports and was told it was ‘impossible,’ I couldn’t wait to get busy organizing the right team and plan to make it happen.”
Three years ago, Kendall was approached by residents of St. Johns Forest with the issue of their children being forced to ride their bikes along the very dangerous County Road 2209/9B. There have been numerous severe accidents where cars have flipped onto the children’s sidewalk and missed hitting the students by mere minutes. Kendall continued to fight, organize and keep the issue alive until last week when the students were allowed to ride the school bus again.
“This is the type of care and determination I will give to all the issues,” she said. “I will make sure your concerns are addressed if you send me to Tallahassee to represent you.”
The primary election is Aug. 20, 2024, and the general election is Nov. 5, 2024. Rep. Cyndi Stevenson currently holds the seat but is term-limited out next year.
