“You think you know a lot of people until you run countywide.” These words, from Anna Brosche, who last week unseated Group 1 At Large Councilwoman Kimberly Daniels in one of the more interesting contests on the ballot, demonstrate the crux of the problem Brosche faced. How to introduce one’s self to voters, and how to make the […]

Jacksonville City Councilwoman Kimberly Daniels is no stranger to controversy, but you can’t argue with her ability to spark discussion. Case in point: Daniels has taken to posting pictures of her dirty feet on Facebook as she pounds the pavement in her run for re-election. The word “Selah” is Hebrew and loosely translated, means “pause and […]

The Next Generation Leaders ECO is messaging for Kim Daniels yet again, with a mailer contrasting the “true conservative” against the “radical liberal” Anna Brosche. Daniels, we are assured, is pro-family, pro-life, and a member of the NRA, and enjoys the robust support of First Responders. This particular mailer is especially interesting, as it comes after a $20,000 donation […]

On Monday morning, the United Christians of Florida announced its endorsements in the 2015 Duval County, Jacksonville city elections. Missing from that docket: recommendations in the mayoral race and in At Large Group 1. The group endorsed Mike Williams for sheriff, Geoff Youngblood and Sam Newby for At Large Groups 3 and 5, and Mike Anania, Al Ferraro, Reggie Gaffney, and Pat Lockett-Felder in […]

“You can count on me to show up, to read legislation before I vote, to represent every part of Duval County.” Those words, from At Large Group 1 Council Candidate Anna Brosche, were a purposeful jab at her opponent, Kim Daniels, who no-showed the Beaches Watch forum. It was unsurprising, given that Daniels has been at loggerheads […]

The always idiosyncratic voters at the Jacksonville Tiger Bay club voted in a straw poll for citywide candidates at this past Friday’s meeting, which we covered. The results are in and they are not party line. In the Mayoral Straw Poll, incumbent Democrat Alvin Brown bested Republican Lenny Curry 50 percent to 40 percent, with 10 percent leaving […]

The crowd at the Main Library downtown for the Jacksonville City Council debate may not have been as large as others around town. What it lacked in size, it made up with substance. About 40 people, many connected to a campaign in one way or another, attended to hear candidates discuss the issues facing Jacksonville. […]

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 […]

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 monthly meeting of the Jacksonville Tiger Bay Club included an At Large Council candidate forum. Three races have runoffs, and five of the six candidates were on hand. Ju’Coby Pittman, of Group 5, was without her challenger, and therefore did not have much to say much. Both candidates in Groups 1 and 3 were on […]
