Looking For District 2 Candidate

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.

Gotta pay for those red lights.

Seriously, why would anyone in their right mind want to run for a political office in Walton Co., with snarky, negative people like you spewing your darkness.

My family = Civic minded, not politicians.

Out of respect for others that might read this thread - I will not go any farther down this path concerning you viability as a candidate or you familys motivation to be "Community minded" - run if you want to run - good luck to you.

I am looking for a candidate that can make a change in Walton County not more of the same.

hmm. wonder if i should name mine.:scratch:

Jeez...where is your sense of humor???? Reread this thread....does it appear that I am serious about running for district 2??? :roll:

Good luck to whomever can tolerate the dark cloud that hovers around local politics. IMO, I think you will get more of the same because no one, unless politically motivated, will put themselves in the line of fire that you are setting forth.

yeah, you're right, really. but oh how i would love to.

I figure it is the $70K+ in pay and benefits for a part time job. But then accountability is always an issue for some.

Wrobert, you sound like a bitter politician. Good luck to you. 70K+ wouldn't be enough, even part time when you have to suck up to the dark cloud.

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.

So the theme of the upcoming commission election is going to be "Pimp Your Candidate"

Here's a willing subject:

What is this $70K you keep rambling about? I've seen you quote this number in numerous posts....

The approximate amount a Walton County Commissioner draws when salary, benefits, travel expenses and whatever else they might legally obtain, is all added together.

Shelly is "pimping" what we call it when we support a candidate finacially. Aren't we supporting a candidate who at least has some of the same views as we do. I don't really think what IG and friends are doing is anything more than what I have done when I have supported candidates. I guess the only difference is she is fishing for a contender. IG, obviously we may seldom agree on much, but if you find a candidate I can support, I will surely assist in placing and picking up signs.

ok, thanks!

I believe that last time we had a candidate backed by a willing group of contributors we got Scott Brannon.

Vote for Interested Girl, she brings a fresh perspective to the table everyday since she can't remember the last.

I believe that the last candidate back by a willing group of contributors was in the 2008 election. Alan Osborne was backed by the residents of Driftwood Estates. Check the addresses on his campaign reports. He did not win.

If I am correct you supported him.

Oh the horror of a candidate backed by constituents. IIRC Mr. Brannon's backers weren't constituents and were in it for massive kickbacks.

...I see a big difference in supporting a candidate and "fishing" for a candidate. One is already willing, able and running based on his/her own values--the other is putting their values up for sale.

And they did not even get a private park for their trouble.

Many people "think" about running and one of the most troubling things they worry about is raising the dollars necessary to run a sucessful campaign against an incumbent.

Please note that we said the were were looking for a person "interested" or "thinking" about running. We will vet and find the true reason for the interest before selecting someone if anyone.

Hopefully we will find the right person, running for the right reasons, not tied to the good ole boys that we can help.

Nothing sinister in our motives. We are looking for a meaningful "Change".

Really, 2 words come to mind, Special Interest. Take a look at the politicians who take money. The law that opens up Florida to building without regard for infrastructure has already paid off for Gov Crist. So whether it is IG's special interest, wants to see change or the realtors backing Pridgens special interest, it is all up for sale. At least IG is realistic enough that it may bite their group in the backside but that could happen with any PAC.
