Days before Jacksonville begins early voting, Together for a Greater Jacksonville has sent out another mailer attacking “Democrat Mayor” Alvin Brown. It contends that “Democrat Mayor Alvin Brown pushed for job-killing Obamacare while taking advantage of ‘platinum’ taxpayer-paid” insurance, and that Brown “broke his promise to not take a pension … when he promised to cut […]

Tonight, the Sun Ray theater in the Riverside area of Jacksonville hosted a “conversation with the candidates” in the District 14 City Council race between incumbent Republican Jim Love and his nominally Democratic opponent, Jason Tetlak.

Bill Hay‘s WBOB Stump straw poll last weekend got a solid turnout and had some interesting speeches. Lenny Curry talked about being “the only conservative in this race” and Bill Bishop launched a critique of negative ads as “the last vestige of people with no vision.” The counting process to determine winners?
