Though the lion’s share of attention in Tuesday’s leadership races in the Jacksonville City Council has focused on the race for the Presidency between Anna Brosche and John Crescimbeni, the race for the Vice-Presidency is also wide-open … and poised for a Tuesday afternoon decision. One candidate, Scott Wilson, has two pledges outside of himself: current VP John Crescimbeni […]

On Thursday morning, Jacksonville City Councilman Scott Wilson continued to recruit pledges for his bid for the council vice-presidency. Wilson discussed his bid with former Council President Greg Anderson, who refused to commit given that he hadn’t talked to the other candidate in the race yet.

Tuesday saw the first public notice meetings by candidates for 2017-18 Jacksonville City Council leadership. And both of them were productive for the candidates. In the VP race, Scott Wilson came out of the 2:00 meeting with two pledges: current VP John Crescimbeni and Bill Gulliford. Wilson, running against Aaron Bowman, now has a 3-1 lead in pledges (counting […]

2016’s race for Jacksonville City Council VP was full of twists and turns and betrayals. John Crescimbeni pulled it out, after a pledge for opponent Doyle Carter flipped. On Tuesday, 2017’s race for the slot — a prerequisite for the presidency — started in earnest, with Southside Republican Scott Wilson declaring his candidacy. In his letter to […]
