A passionate progressive with an eye on environmental issues, Hillsborough County Commissioner
Pat
Kemp has led the charge on expanding public transit and curbing urban sprawl since she was first elected to her countywide seat in 2016.
In her new role as Commission chair, that’s only going to continue.
“Pat Kemp is a relentless and outspoken advocate for Hillsborough County,” said
Christina
Barker, chief of staff for the Vinik Family Office. “She consistently sets the tone and scope of local and regional conversations. As the new chair of the Hillsborough County Commission, she has a capable coalition for progressive land use and transportation policy efforts — two of her most valued priorities.”
