The Westside Church of Christ on 8th Street had people “standing with completed ballots and can’t leave until SOE shows up,” tweeted Abel Harding.

Though Lake Ray may be in the CD 4 race, fellow Republican Jerry Holland, Duval County Property Appraiser, is out, he said Monday. “It is not often someone decides not to run, when you have received such an outpouring of suggestions and encouragement, from the Governor, to friends in the media, to family and you, my friends.

Though John Rutherford has the backing of the Lenny Curry/Michael Munz/Peter Rummell political machine if he should decide to run to replace Ander Crenshaw in CD 4, it doesn’t mean that he will have a clear field.
