Jacksonville incumbents Jerry Holland, Sam Newby file for re-election
Sam Newby will take the Jacksonville City Council presidency July 1.

Newby

Monday saw two incumbent Jacksonville politicians file for re-election.

At Large Group 5 Republican Sam Newby filed for re-election, as did Republican Property Appraiser Jerry Holland.

Newby, who won a narrow race against Democrat Ju’Coby Pittman in 2015, thus far faces no ballot opposition.

Holland, who was a popular Supervisor of Elections for two terms, faced no ballot opposition in 2015, but will face a Democrat on next March’s ballot.

Kurt Kraft has just over $600 on hand. To put that number in context, Holland raised over $154,000 in his unopposed run in 2015.
