Kelly Carden won a seat on the Rosamond Municipal Advisory Council in 2022. Carden is serving a term that runs through December 2026—an official, nonpartisan post where he represents Rosamond residents directly to the County Board of Supervisors and county departments. On the council, Carden has leaned into practical, liberty-minded problem-solving. On Carden’s watch, RMAC opened a student-advisor seat to involve young residents in local decision-making. Carden has worked to surface resident input on issues like traffic, trucks, dust, and road wear — bringing small-town accountability to county government.
