One of the memes put forth by the Alvin Brown campaign of late has been the relative lack of public events from his opponent in the Jacksonville mayoral runoff, Lenny Curry. That’s in spite of ample evidence that Curry has been seen since the election, including meeting at Starbucks with his First Election opponent, Bill Bishop, and being seen greeting supporters and well wishers at the Florida/Florida State game at the Jacksonville Baseball Grounds in recent weeks.
“Meanwhile, Lenny Curry appears not to have been seen in public since his partisan concession speech 10 days ago. Clearly, the Curry campaign is scared that voters are learning that Party Boss Curry would bring the worst of partisan politics to Jacksonville,” Nelson said.
Curry has, in fact, been in public in the past 10 days. On Thursday, this reporter bumped into Curry and Bill Bishop together at Starbucks. …
As well, Curry took his son and a friend to the Florida/Florida State game at the Baseball Grounds of Jacksonville on March 31 … as Curry wrote in a post on his Facebook campaign page.
Those Jacksonville voters (and Brown campaign operatives) who hunger for more Curry events won’t have to wait much longer. The candidate’s Facebook page had a cryptic graphic Monday promoting an event next week. Not much detail is given on the graphic, nor on the post, except for a short message.
“Save the date … we have a big announcement coming in the next day.”
What kind of announcement? I contacted the Curry campaign, which gave no details beyond “an event next week.”
For another 24 hours or so, those who want more Curry public appearances will have to wait and wonder about the event’s specifics.
