Applicants include city and county administrators, private-sector CEOs, a TSA security director, and a college professor. George Touart—who served previously as Escambia’s administrator, and also serves currently as interim administrator—has also applied for the job.

The selection committee consists of the following members: David Pavlock was appointed by Commissioner Wilson Robertson; Joseph Ward, Sr., was appointed by Commissioner Gene Valentino; Pastor Joseph Marshall was appointed by Commissioner Lumon May; Tom Knox was appointed by Commissioner Grover Robinson; Bob Price, Jr., was appointed by Commissioner Steven Barry.
