Cecilia Jones

I don't understand why folks are so upset. Seems like some sour grapes and/or assuming the worst. That's not helpful to the political process. Although it is weird because I assume she owns a computer and maybe has been on this site and I'm wondering why she wouldn't join the other candidates with discussion on here. Is it a snub to people who live in SoWal?

Obviously a good political practice.........

seems like quite a few 24 hour periods have come and gone and there are a good amount of campaign signs up of numerous candidates. is there still a lot of celebrating going on, and phone calls being returned?

I had a quick run up to Best Buy today and noticed someone is more incensed than i am over the signs that are still up, especially the ones of cecilia jones. Not the ugly black and white plastic ones, the really ugly large black and white ones. Many of them them have been broken down, but are still visible, as the are leaned up against their wooden uprights.

CANDIDATES, IT'S PAST TIME TO MAKE SURE ALL YOUR SIGNS HAVE BEEN REMOVED!!

Where is code enforcement with the citations?

I went to my place in Paxton yesterday and drove back this morning...I did not see one Cecelia Jones sign........all gone. Thank you Cecelia. I did see three Osborne signs on 331 between Freeport and Woodlawn and meant to pick them up this morning, but must of missed them or someone picked them up. Many signs for Brad Drake and Adkinson.

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.

Uncanny!

The LDC gives them to Sept 10th. I doubt you see code enforcement do anything until after that time, then you would have to file a complaint.

Adkinson and Drake, along with myself are still running for office.

C. Jones

I received a political flyer in the mail yesterday (Sept. 3) from Cecelia Jones. She wanted me to be sure to vote for her on August 26. Now, let me get this straight: Ms. Jones did not have the time to submit the information to THE SUN for her campaign. Obviously, now she did not have the time to get her campaign flyers out before the campaign. Also, this flyer told me absolutely nothing about Ms. Jones. Total waste of compaign funds. Scary! How is she ever going to have the time to be our Commissioner if she can't run a campaign.

You must be on a weird list or that could be the not-so stellar work of the US postal system. I got 2 fliers from her - one 2 weeks before the election and one the week of the election.

I was also impressed that she had people w/ large signs at the intersections of both 395/30A and 283/30A for hours on election day.

If you had read the next weeks Sun you would have seen where they apologized for leaving out her responses.

From what I saw of the mail it all dropped at the same time. The USPS, a government agency, would be the one that is probably responsible for the delay.

Since she was successful I would submit that she probably knows quite a bit about how to run a campaign. Her success does not validate your opinion of her campaign strategy.

I say give her a chance. If you do not like what she does then jump out there in four years, offer your services, and see how far you get.

From this morning's NWF Daily News:

"
In District 5, Cecilia Jones will take over the seat being vacated by Commissioner Cindy Meadows, who decided not to run for re-election.

Jones did not return repeated calls for comment Tuesday evening.

"

This is starting out well.

They should have called Jerry. Now that we have 3 Jones' on the BCC.
