Meet Joe Campbell

Honest Work.  Honest Leadership.

WORKING HIS WAY UP FROM THE BOTTOM

Joe’s story is one of grit, grace, and good old-fashioned American perseverance. He spent several years in foster care before being adopted by a loving family in rural Wyoming. It was there — surrounded by wide open skies and hardworking people — that Joe learned the values that still guide him today: be honest, work hard, and help others when you can.

He graduated from high school and got his start at a local community college before transferring to the University of Montana. His path wasn’t glamorous, but it was real — and like many Americans, he knows what it means to roll up his sleeves and earn every step forward.

In 1990, Joe moved to Central Florida and began working as a bellman at Walt Disney World. Over the next three decades, he worked his way up through the company — not by cutting corners, but by showing up, working hard, and treating people fairly. From leading hotel teams to navigating complex labor issues, Joe earned a reputation for practical problem-solving and bringing folks together. He finished his Disney career as a leader for Resort Development, making sure large-scale projects were delivered on time, on budget, and built to last.

COMMITTED TO SERVING THE COMMUNITY

In 2018, Joe and his family moved to Peachtree City where his initial intention of staying home for a year to help his wife and two sons settle into their new community became the beginning of a love story with our city.  He turned his focus to serving his neighbors and community. Whether it’s helping at local events, serving as the Chairman of the Peachtree City Convention and Visitors Bureau Board of Directors, volunteering at Crabapple Lane Elementary or mentoring the next generation as a local Boy Scout leader, Joe believes in giving back to the community that’s given him so much. 

 

COMMON-SENSE LEADERSHIP THAT’S ABOUT YOU

He’s a neighbor, not a career politician. Joe’s someone who believes in showing up, listening well, working hard and doing the right thing — even when it’s not the easy thing. Joe is running to bring a calm, common-sense voice to local leadership. No drama, no grandstanding — just a commitment to serve the community he calls home.
