Melinda "Missy" Chambers has announced her intentions to seek re-election for Ouachita County Treasurer.
"I am the Ouachita County Treasurer and would like to continue for another 4 years. It has been an honor to serve the citizens of Ouachita County for the past 7 1/2 years as Treasurer. Prior to being the treasurer, I was the deputy treasurer for 6 years. By the end of this term, I will have 15 years' experience in the treasurer's office, and I have 6 years of county government experience from the County Clerk's office."
The treasurer's office receives and accounts for all county monies and distributes tax collections to the taxing units each month. As the disbursement officer for the county, I will continue to work with the officials, cities, and schools.
I am a life-long resident of Ouachita County. I graduated from Camden High School in 1983. I've been married to Wayland Chambers for 39 years, we raised two children Jonathan and Breanne in Ouachita County. We have a daughter-in-law Jennifer and three grandchildren, Carson, Jon Russell and Jorgia. I am the daughter of Betty Vaughan and the late Russell Vaughan.
I attend Camden Cumberland Presbyterian Church; I am a 4-H leader for the Camden Clovers 4-H club and the Ouachita County Fairboard President.
I come from a long line of public servants, and I would like to continue to serve the citizens of Ouachita County as your County Treasurer. I would appreciate your support and vote on November 8, 2022.
