Rhonda O’Dell is a U.S. Marine Corps veteran, financial expert, and dedicated public servant running for the Shelby County Board of Commissioners to represent District 1. With a background as a credit union branch manager and small business owner, Rhonda brings sharp fiscal discipline and a banker’s precision to county budgeting.
As a long-time District 1 resident with years of deep, direct experience working inside the Shelby County Commission office, she has the unique institutional knowledge required to lead without a learning curve. Rhonda is running on a common-sense conservative platform: reducing crime, cutting government waste, supporting municipal schools, and passing proactive zoning laws to protect the rural and suburban character of Millington, Arlington, and North Shelby County. Tested, trusted, and deeply rooted in her community, Rhonda is uniquely qualified on Day 1 for District 1.
