I am looking for a special individual that is interested in running for the District 2 Commission Seat in 2010.
If you are interested or thinking about making a positive change in Walton County, please send me a private PM.
We have a group willing to work dilligently to raise the necessary dollars to defeat the incumbent commissioner. You must be willing to be veted prior to receiving our support.
Party affiliation is not a litmus test for our support.

No I don't live in District 2 or own property in District 2. Commissioners are elected county wide. They are elected to represent a particular geographic area by all of the voters of Walton County.
I believe that a person should only be allowed to serve two terms. The current D2 Commissioner is completing his second term and has indicated that he would run for a third term.
I believe that after eight years a person becomes to close to the operations and begins to become a part of the system.
I like a change after eight years - new people bring new ideas.
No beef just a desire to see a meaningful change.

This comment sparked a question I was wondering about. Does anyone know if the Walton County Property Owners association still exists and is active? I haven't heard anything about them in a while and they used to be very active on private property rights issues. This is different from the WC Taxpayers Association. Sorry for the tangent...

You do not have to live or own property in District 2 to run for the seat. You have to live there upon your election though.

And you have no problem with a country store operator in Gaskin, Fl raising over $ 85,000 in his last campaign. Check his campaign finance report. That will buy alot of puppet string.

He was the candidate...no?
I'm familiar with a candidate stepping into the ring and then going out and soliciting money for their own campaign. What I find odd is a group of residents pooling their cash and going out "advertising" and "interviewing" for a candidate to run on their behalf. What if the candidate takes the money, gets elected and then goes against what he/she promised the group? Do you all get together and sue?...just askin'

Nothing different from the two disfunctional political parties in Walton County. Both are actively "advertising" and recruiting candidates to run and both have offered "campaign help" and "campaign funding"
We just feel that in both cases we will get more of the same.
You pay your money and take your chances.

Some of those same players have been on the fringes of other campaigns. But with the change in electioneering laws in this State, I imagine you will see a lot of really strange things coming up this election cycle. It would appear that elections are going to be the furthest thing from transparency we have seen in a very long time.

I wish I could get my money back. The Governor seems to have no problem raising it anyway.

I know, I know...you are looking for a politician...the same old, same old.....Darn it!!! I'm not a suck up and I have a life, of course I wouldn't qualify.

For some reason I get the feeling that someone that has voted to raise both taxes and millage will not be garnering a lot of support.
Beach Fanatic
But I promise you, you are missing out on a colorful and interesting campaign........Can you imagine...a single woman living in the "Ho House", this could be a Walton Co. first, well, maybe not.:roll:

You whole family seems to be politically motivated. Definitely not looking for another suckup. Your voting record stands in your way - tax and spend candidates will not do well.
