'''Eugene Preston Campbell''', known as '''Gene Campbell''' (February 18, 1870 – January 30, 1940), was thus far the longest serving sheriff in the history of Concordia Parish in eastern [[Louisiana]]. He served nearly thirty-two years from June 1908 until his death, which occurred the same month as his reelection to a ninth four-year term.
