Risky play: Sean Shaw counterprograms Florida/Georgia with Jax meet-n-greet

Sean Shaw

Democratic Attorney General candidate Sean Shaw may have taken the biggest risk of his campaign Saturday in Jacksonville.

The candidate has scheduled a meet and greet event at 5 p.m., at the Cuba Libre Bar (2578 Atlantic Blvd.

Shaw’s event is certain to overlap the end of the first half of the Florida/Georgia football game just miles away.

This year sees both programs nationally prominent, with top-10 rankings, suggesting that fans of both squads will be as engaged as possible.

Despite the pigskin competition, Shaw’s event should be well-attended, with 94 marked on Facebook as going with 453 more interested as of 10:30 a.m. Saturday.

Shaw is running against Republican Ashley Moody in the Nov. 6 election.

The most recent poll of the race, via Bay News 9, pegs it as too close to call.

Shaw’s event is not the only Jacksonville political event Saturday.

Local Republicans will have their Duval GOP Victory Tailgate outside the stadium before the game.

That event will see Sen. Aaron Bean and U.S. Rep. John Rutherford in attendance, and starts at 11:30.
