Cecilia Jones

:roll:...John R and his sarcasm. Got any photographic evidence?

Please put up more signs.

After today she'll have to...

They're like every 15 feet on 98 by Do Not Hole!

I am curious about something. Why does everyone say Cecilia is from the north?

This is not a recommendation to vote for her so please don't take it as such, and I don't know where her primary residence is now, but I'm just sayin'. She was my now-34-year-old nephew's kindergarten teacher at Bay Elementary. Before she married Jerry (what, fifteen years ago, maybe?) she lived at Eastern Lake/Seagrove for YEARS. Did everyone forget that?

many people who are regulars here were not here that long ago...I really wish we could get beyond this North South thing....

I removed my post as it did not come across as intended.

If it helps, all that I have ever heard about her was that she was the north county candidate in the 5th district. I have notice her hundreds of signs, often placed ten and twenty at a time, being knocked about by the wind.

I'm sorry...I didn't mean to drop the bomb on you; we are all on a bit of a weekend-before-election-day short fuse over here . But it has just been amazing to me that many people have been saying that, leading others to believe it. Goodwitch is correct - most people haven't been here long enough to have the benefit of -uhh- background information. ;-)

bdarg, you are very correct about the signs. I haven't been out today (perhaps that is my problem) to see signs being blown around, but I too noticed uber-dozen of Cecilia's signs popping up last week and as many as there are, you KNOW not much effort was given to stomp the stakes securely in the ground!

Where do you get your mail?

Visit this Republican Party of Florida Link, and send a letter to your current State Committee Woman, Cecila Jones, and see if it goes into a District 5 mailbox:

P.S. as a resident of North Walton, I love and appreciate our neighbors across the bridge. The diverse communities are what makes us great. I join in the collective rejection of this division line of thought. I do think you should have district resident representation. On the Hudson and Osborne debate I suggest you work it out and quick, or you will be tricked on this one.

This reminds me of how funny it is when people seem to believe that an endorsement from a former official will seal the deal, or even help significantly, as with Mr. Osborne's endorsement from Commissioner Meadows. Rest assured people, Mr. Osborne will not win the primary on Tuesday, endorsement or not.

This, however, is no disrespect to Commissioner Meadows. Thanks Ms. Meadows for your service, and sometimes not being afraid to stand-up for Walton County such as you recently demonstrated when discussing increased wages of BCC employees. I don't know of anyone that would NOT like to see a five dollar decrease on their property tax bill, Mr. Finance Director. Thanks Commissioner Meadows, but your not so popular that your endorsement will help Mr. Osborne to your current chair on the BCC. Sorry.

How True

How True How True!

Commissioner Meadows endorsement could be the kiss of death to Mr. Osborne. Amazingly, many of the people of District 5 were not satisfied with Commissioner Meadows performance and her ability to answer phone calls in a timely manner, if ever!

One of her few best decisions was not to run!

This is some pretty damning evidence.:shock:

Please put up more signs.

Your a funny kid.

I stand by my original voting principle on this race: the person that has the LEAST amount of plastic crapola signs gets my vote!

I disagree with this statement. I contacted Commissioner Meadows a couple of times via email and she always responded promptly. ONE of the reasons I am voting for Mr. Osborne is based on her endorsement.

Maybe so. But be assured there will not be enough voters like you, endorsement or not.

I think you are underestimating the south vote. People seem to understand this time the need to vote in a way that I cannot remember in the past. This should help all the south candidates.

Not according to the absentee returns and early voting figured.

jones had a stealth campaign relying on "good old boy" Holmes County political strategy. First you need name recognition which she has - then you stay off the record - which she has - then you make alliances with others (she has partnerd with our old commissioner Cuchens and make the deal for support in this election in exchange for support in the upcoming election between Cuchens and Commander ( interesting that the poll completed last weekend asked about that matchup ).

All controlled and funded by one developer - Odom. Look at her F3 if you want to see the ties. You then let the truly qualified candidates beat each other up in forums - steal their signs to pit one against the other and at the last minute you spend $12,000 on newspapers in the Southern part to get just enough votes to win.

Game set & match

We tend to vote on issues in the southern precints and in the northern precints it is controlled by "name recognition" and a good old wisper campaign that will curl your toes.

What you end up with is control once again by a developer.

Hudson had the best chance, but they really worked him over through the wisper campaign and he thought it was Osborn behind it.

I am sure many will not like this post because they are so dedicated to their "southern candidate" , but lets just wait and see.

I hope that you are wrong and fear that you are right.

Actually I think you might have it dead on. Sad, but true.

You know if all that is said was true, Jerry would have been elected when he last ran. His campaign was so negative that I was truly shocked, as for Mrs. Jones, I did not vote for her because of who she was married to and I thought there are better candidates out there. As for Mr. Odom, appreciate your developments for the most part, but can't you do it without the politics or do I need to be afraid of something, like moving a road.

A moving road is the least of your worries.

This is not an attack on Osborn - just political reality. Osborne openly states "it's personal" and it truly is. He will attempt to do what he says - he will have to learn to count to three. The remaining 4 commissioners really do not like him u he has burned alot of bridges in the past - and he will find that counting to three is difficult if not impossible.

... as for Mrs. Jones, I did not vote for her because of who she was married to .

another reason why she wont get my vote.

many people who are regulars here were not here that long ago...I really wish we could get beyond this North South thing....

I don't think it is as much a north south thing as it is that she has reported to not be living in the district in which she is now running.

Barnhill won by a small marin with Barhill barely campaigning. Jerry's past actions was his downfall. Cecilia is perceived as a nice lady and she is u she is also the least qualified and the real commissioner will be Jerry.

Better order up a 6th commissioners chair.

Recently, I noticed Larry Jones' signs being posted at the base of some of the "adopt a highway" signs, which designate the volunteers responsible for cleaning the right of ways. John R, it is a little late, but what do you say that we get a gang together to clean your section of hwy 98 tomorrow morning?

SJ - the only thing north/south about it is name recognition. Every other candidate has one big disadvantage - she is know to them warts and all. All of the others are unknown to them - they will vote for her for that reason.

Alan has repeatedly counted to three, for four years now. He is tired of counting, and rightly so.
