Andrew Campanella...the young upstart who threw his hat in the ring to run for school board in 2014 and just as suddenly withdrew when he was outed for some of his controversial associations to people involved in efforts to privatize public schools. He also helped push efforts by some in SoWal to appoint a Superintendent. Ironically, he also supports charter schools one of which is the Rader Group in Miramar Beach, who owns Okaloosa Academy that is currently being investigated by the FBI!
Shady, Shady, Shady!
He is also a member of the Walton County Visioning page...and now tied to T. Anderson and C. Jones. Imagine that!

The Walton County Visioning page does not have "members" its a Facebook Group. Anyone can ask to be on the group and 99.9% are accepted. They don't take in anonymous or fake Facebook personalities but pretty much anyone who wants in gets access to the Group. For the record I am not an admin of the page.

Hmmm...where to start and make this post make sense? Not sure myself but here goes nothing.
I think Suzanne Harris is onto something in regard to the Our Generation Facebook page and who is actually behind the ads, the fliers, the data mining, Verizon wireless sponsored ads, Instagram msgs and Facebook msgs. Admittedly, there are a few developers with money in SoWal and there are a couple of sketchy politicians (1 a wannabe, the other a current BCC member) who actively chase developer dollars but this is BIGGER than Llyod Blue, Jay Odom and other big name developers, at least on a local level. Yes, they have money, they DON'T have that kind of money but perhaps they do have connections to those who do. I don't know and I am certainly not accusing them but when all else fails what do you do?
Follow the money! In campaign finance terms "follow the money" refers to all funds raised in order to promote candidates, political parties, or policies in elections, referendums, initiatives, party activities, and party organizations. The funds could also detract from the opponents of the above and I think the latter is just exactly what Our Generation is doing. The ads and the Facebook page have many of us going down the proverbial rabbit hole to intentionally confuse us and cause chaos. By design? I think so but my question still is, who has that kind of money?
Answer (IMO)...I think Suzanne Harris inadvertently hit the nail on the head when she mentioned Andrew Campanella's name. I had to think back to 2014 when Campanella suddenly appeared on the political scene here and literally thrust himself on local small town politics and withdrew just as suddenly when he was outed for some of his VERY controversial associations to people (and their intentions) who have BIG BIG BIG money! Who might that be?
Answer (IMO) The Walton Family Foundation (AKA Wal-Mart) The Walton Family Foundation has pledged to give over 2.2 billion dollars (an average of $440 million a year) in the areas of K-12 education, the environment, and economic-development projects such as roads bridges and infrastructure. The money could also be used to include incorporation of municipalities all of which are the major issues in Walton County.
Maybe I'm wrong and I'm sure someone will point out the fallacy of my ramblings.
The Koch Brothers were/are big supporters of Campanella who is a strong supporter of C. Jones to the point of driving her to events and handing out literature. (Edited)

Someone just let me know that I was mentioned on this site. Let me help end your speculation. I am not involved, in any way, in “Our Generation” or anything like it. Nobody I know is involved in this group, either. The first I heard of them was by getting the flyers in the mail for the candidates they support and seeing their Facebook ads. I am also not involved in any other Political Action Committee (PAC), Electioneering Communications Organization (ECO), or 501c4 involved in Walton County elections. Incidentally, I personally support customary use of the beach. -- Andrew Campanella

So Mr Campenella says it ain't him. I would have been surprised had it been him because of the endorsement. Had it been I know a few folks on this forum who might have had a coranary because of the lean to certain candidates. That being said, less worried about Our Generation doing more harm than good especially for Mr Fletcher.

Suzanne Harris may not appreciate my next ramblings so, I apologize in advance.
In following the money it should also be noted that Mike Huckabee raised $3.6 million in 2015. $3 million of that came from one man, Ron Cameron. Cameron has very political ties to the Koch brothers and contributed $3 million to the Super Pac that supported Mike Huckabee.
My point in all this is that there is BIG BIG BIG money involved in small town, Walton County politics. It's not local money but I'm sure there are some people locally involved and/or associated with it but its bigger than just local money.
Bottom line is, this is what happens when either currently elected officials or those running PANDER to the MONEY by trying to please their contributors rather than their pleasing their constituents.

P.S. People start looking at where all this BIG money is coming from and its linked to people locally who have or previously had connections to the money.

Actually given how you view that link I posted to @Bob Hudson to the Our generation page T. Anderson's mugshot and link to his page could be viewed as an endorsement given that the owner of the page could have BLOCKED it but have obviously chosen to let it remain. Its been there several days.

The Facebook ones aren't pushed/promoted by the owners of the FB page which you're intentionally visiting; they're pushed by FB advertising dept based on their internal data mining and in relation to pages you're visiting. So, just because it shows up as "other pages you may like" when you visit Our Generation, it doesn't mean Our Generation's proprietors are paying FB to promote Tony Anderson's page.
And they are not always "sponsored" suggestions. If you visit a Lynyrd Skynyrd fan page, you may get a "People Also Like .38 Special" prompt. The "Sponsored" pages will always say "sponsored."

The fact remains they could have BLOCKED it and have not.
In addition to that they have removed comments from local folks attempting to find out who this "concerned citizens group" is just for simply asking who they are.

You may be right; I just went to the Our Generation page and tried to get "other people like" suggestions to pull up and I couldn't get any to come up, either in my iPhone FB app or going through Safari on my iPhone. I'll have to try it on my PC. The similar/other people like suggestions I usually get tend to roll up after reading an article (such as a WSJarticle posted in FB, then a suggestion for one on a similar or related topic in NYT) or looking at an interest page orcommercial page. The only time I getsuggested "group" pages to like is when I visit one that I'm a member of, and asuggestion tells me about similar ones.

BTW Mr. Campanella, I just wanted to thank you for not insulting anyone's intelligence by suggesting you are not associated with or actively supporting C. Jones. IMO you couldn't have picked anyone with a less credibility. If you're trying to make a name for yourself in politics in Walton County this was not the way to go about it.
Being seen pandering to a woman who openly defied her marriage vows by flaunting her "new beau" goes against all the teachings of the bible she thumps when it suits her. It's also highly hypocritical.
Trust me when I tell you she won't be hard to beat when her current term expires. I also hope you have a huge rag to wipe the egg off your face.

Another interesting post from someone on the Our Generation page...was actually posted yesterday.
I have no idea who this guy is but I do know that during Cecilia Jones last campaign she brushed off the allegations that she had stolen money from the late Laverne Camachos' estate saying it was politically motivated when a lawsuit was filed against her by Ms. Camachos' son who is/was the beneficiary of the $750,000 account. Absolutely no connection was made between that dispute and Cecilia Jones’ official acts as a member of the Walton County Board of County Commissioners..
Every Judge in this County recused themselves from hearing that lawsuit and it was set to be heard in Santa Rosa County where it mysteriously disappeared, never to be heard about again.
Edit, corrected spelling.
