Though tonight’s 4th Circuit State Attorney GOP primary debate between State Attorney Angela Corey and challengers Melissa Nelson and Wes White will be web-only, it’s worth the bandwidth. This could be the last stand for those looking to stop Nelson from unseating the embattled incumbent state attorney, who despite being aggressively backed by incumbent politicians and public safety […]

With the Aug. 30 primary approaching in northeast Florida’s 4th Circuit race for state attorney, the financial reports still tell the same story: Melissa Nelson has more resources at her disposal than incumbent Angela Corey and challenger Wes White combined. In hard money, Nelson has raised nearly $400,000, with another $642,800 in her “First Coast Values” political committee. […]

A recent forum for 4th circuit state attorney in Jacksonville’s tony Queens Harbor neighborhood was well-attended, with coverage on two television stations and in the Florida Times-Union. Omitted from any of the write-ups, however: the fact that the forum moderator, Valarie Linnen, gave the campaign of incumbent State Attorney Angela Corey $500 on June 9. Linnen, […]

Wes White, the 4th Circuit State Attorney candidate, is low on funds and running off personal loans, but that didn’t stop him from hiring Denise Hunt. Hunt, an outspoken activist for many causes, has been involved most recently in public demonstrations at the federal courthouse in Jacksonville, arguing that Congresswoman Corrine Brown has become the subject of a […]

Melissa Nelson, Republican candidate for 4th Circuit State Attorney, scored 50 individual contributions totaling $21,275, a strong indication that as her challenge to Angela Corey enters its home stretch, a diverse coalition is responding favorably to her message of 21st century criminal justice reform as an alternative to Corey and her campaign surrogate/opponent, Wes White. Nelson’s donor pool […]

A new, brutal attack ad targeting Melissa Nelson has been launched from “Citizens for Justice,” a PAC supportive of Angela Corey. A third candidate in the race, Wes White, has piggybacked on the hit with sponsored Facebook posts pointing to the ad. The ad incorporates uncorroborated claims made by White in a letter to Corey requesting a grand jury investigation of the Nelson […]

Running the risk of courting controversy with the local press, and perhaps some friction with Democrats and independents ahead of the Aug. 30 pension tax referendum, Jacksonville Mayor Lenny Curry served as master of ceremonies at the Donald Trump rally Wednesday in front of a crowd of roughly 8,000 Trump supporters, which filled out further after his portion […]

What a difference a few years and a contested election makes. In October 2009, Melissa Nelson left Angela Corey‘s state attorney office. Nelson sent an email describing the “thrilling and memorable ride” that was her time as an assistant state attorney, in which she described being “inspired … awestruck … and humbled” by her colleagues. Corey’s response? […]
