If you were looking forward to seeing Kim Daniels and Anna Brosche in their At Large Group 1 debate on Monday night at the Main Library, sorry. This “last-minute political event,” sponsored by the Board of Library Trustees and League of Women Voters, is not happening. Brosche will be there, debating an empty chair. Daniels dropped this message on […]

A letter from the Florida Democratic Party on Monday reminded voters to get on the stick abut casting their ballot. “It has come to our attention that you have NOT YET REQUESTED your ballot for the upcoming runoff election” in Jacksonville, the letter reads. Luckily, it’s not too late. The enclosed postage-paid envelope is pre-addressed to […]

Jacksonville Mayor Alvin Brown and Sheriff John Rutherford are at odds on more issues than not these days, with Rutherford messaging against the Mayor’s efforts in both Brown’s race against Lenny Curry, as well as the Sheriff’s race itself. Still, as the two most prominent civic leaders in Jacksonville, they come together for joint appearances, such as the Victims’ […]

But with just two weeks to […]

ICARE, the Interfaith Coalition for Action, Reconciliation and Empowerment, describes itself as a “diverse, multi-issue, organization of 40 member congregations representing over 30,000 Duval County residents.” On Monday night, three thousand people from these congregations, and others throughout the community, are going to pack the Potter’s House Church on Jacksonville’s Westside to discuss issues on […]

All the heavyweights for the GOP presidential 2016 race were in Nashua, New Hampshire this weekend — Jeb Bush, Chris Christie, Marco Rubio, Scott Walker, Rand Paul and Ted Cruz. While those six men are always mentioned when it comes to “serious” contenders, more that a dozen other men — and one woman — who […]

Saturday found At Large Group 1 Councilwoman the Rev. Kim Daniels on Facebook trumpeting a less-than-surprising endorsement in her runoff election. It’s from close ally Reggie Brown, who was just re-elected in District 10. Campaign manager Bradford Hall was quoted as saying, “We are proud to have City Councilman Reggie Brown a part of the Kimberly Daniels’ Team. […]

The names on the ballot in Jacksonville District 8 are Pat Lockett-Felder and Katrina Brown. They might as well be Denise Lee and Corrine Brown though. Though there are some less than scintillating Council races on the ballot in Jacksonville, this one is special. It’s Denise Lee doing what she can to score a setback against the Corrine Brown “Quick Pick” […]

Grand Park is a neighborhood that is a study in contrasts. The Northwest Jacksonville neighborhood is a hotspot for both violent and property crime. Local news has bestowed it an infamous reputation. Yet Sunday afternoon, Grand Park’s streets brimmed with activity that was entirely legal. Families congregated in yards. In the street, on portable basketball […]
