Kenne Wells has proudly called Cocoa Beach home for more than 20 years. During that time, she has built her life around serving the community she loves, earning the trust and friendship of neighbors through her dedication to local businesses, community events, and the people who make Cocoa Beach such a special place.

Today, she continues that commitment by organizing and managing Cocoa Beach's Main Street events, bringing residents, visitors, and local businesses together to celebrate everything that makes our city unique. Her work has helped strengthen community connections while supporting the local economy and preserving the welcoming spirit of Cocoa Beach.
Kenne is passionate about protecting the character of Cocoa Beach. She believes our city should remain a close-knit, family-friendly community where residents come first, local businesses thrive, and thoughtful decisions preserve the small-town charm that has made Cocoa Beach a wonderful place to live.
Her guiding principle is simple:

Kenne believes every decision made by the City Commission should put the interests of Cocoa Beach residents at the forefront. She is committed to responsible leadership, open communication, and working collaboratively to keep our community safe, vibrant, and connected for generations to come.
Family is at the heart of everything Kenne does. She is the proud mother of one daughter, grandmother of five wonderful grandchildren, and great-grandmother of one precious great-grandbaby. Her family inspires her commitment to preserving the quality of life that makes Cocoa Beach such a special place to call home.
Kenne Bates Wells isn't just running for City Commissioner—she's running to protect the community she's been proud to serve for more than two decades.
Cocoa Beach First. Always.
