Former At-Large Jacksonville City Council candidate Mincy Pollock has mostly stayed out of the public eye since his loss in the First Election. But that doesn’t mean he hasn’t been making moves. One of those being his attendance of the Congressional Black Caucus Boot Camp earlier in July, at the behest of Representative Corrine Brown. As Pollock put […]

Democrat Mincy Pollock finished third in the First Election against fellow Democrat Tommy Hazouri and Republican Geoff Youngblood. A Democrat in good standing, he was expected by those who have expectations in such matters to endorse Hazouri.

We’ve written before about Mincy Pollock calling out his opponent in the At Large City Council Group 3 race, Tommy Hazouri, for not voting to change the name of Nathan B. Forrest High School in 2008 when Hazouri was on the Duval County School Board. Hazouri has not wanted to address that controversy and Pollock does not want to […]

At the Duval County Supervisor of Elections office Tuesday for an Early Voting event, U.S. Rep. Corrine Brown was in good humor, until I asked her about her voter information document, “Corrine’s Quick Picks.” A long-standing institution for Florida voters, it has come under increased scrutiny this year.

With a little more than a month before the March 24 election, the First Coast Tiger Bay Club will hold an at-large City Council candidate forum at 11:30 a.m. Friday during its monthly meeting, at the venerable University Club in Jacksonville.
