Also the WCTA and SoWal...
One would also think that with everyone knowing everyone in this small community that on facebook we would at least see someone we know or recognize by name on that page.
All I see on it are individuals who have pushed the charter/voucher/privatization agenda and not one soul who actually lives in Defuniak or Walton County.
With all due respect madam Rapunzel, we don't have to have an opposition candidate to evaluate someone who is running.
I would be all for removing elections from the process but how do you roll back bureaucracy?
LOL...I'm a Democrat and trust me, I'm over it! VOTE NO!!
Same here.
Welcome to Walton County. Let's not make residency the issue here. I was not educated about school choice issues you represent. I'm glad you posted, which has prompted me to do some reading.

It's a shame our children are being used as political basketballs. Deplorable actually. But so is the state of our education in this country. I guess where some see tragedy, others see opportunity.
To settle the residency issue, Mr. Campanella purchased a condo in Sandestin last year, June to be exact.
EDIT:
Actually his residency should be in question. The condo has a second home rider:

This is a freak show
at least by my standards, and it's right in our own little county.Responding to a few points:
1 – Throughout my career, I’ve worked with a lot of people to expand educational opportunity for kids in a way that I think has been positive and inclusive. I’ve brought people together (from tea party activists to civil rights groups), and I think collaboration is a good thing, not a bad thing. Jim – that one Salon piece is wrong and inaccurate on so many levels and I’m happy to explain them all to you personally if I have the chance.
2 – Regarding Facebook, I follow a lot of people and groups on Facebook. I also unfollow folks on Facebook if there’s no activity on their pages. I follow conservative and progressive and centrist groups and people. I like to see what people are saying. That doesn’t mean I’ve changed a position on anything. It’s FACEBOOK, a social media site. And on my campaign page, there are Walton County supporters…but remember, I just started running for office last Monday.
3 - In terms of being involved in the community…I agree, you all raise fair questions. I’ve contributed in my own way (albeit quietly, like attending meetings, writing letters to my elected officials, writing letters to the editor.) And now I’ve put myself out there as a candidate because I think I’d do a good job. I live in District 5; I also own property at Sandestin.
4 – This is not a partisan election. There’s no Republican or Democratic way to educate a child. I am, and have always been, a conservative. I might not agree with all conservatives on every issue, but this is who I am.
Finally, I just want to say…please call me if you want to talk to me. My number is 850-533-6686. The internet may have the information you’re looking for…but I think I can answer some of your questions too.
Thanks.
