Supervisor of Elections violation

I had to rub my eyes at the last parade in Defuniak Springs for the 4th of July. Right behind Rhonda Skippers convertible was a trailer being pulled with Skipper supporters and Skipper voting handouts being driven by none other than our Supervisor of Elections Bobby Beasley. I have long believed that he favored certain individuals but now it is flagrant. he is supposed to be completely neutral as the supervisor of elections but it is clear he is not. Pictures with the sheriff released everywhere of the two and now this. My issue isn't with the Sheriff (I don't support his good ole boy ways) or Skipper (I support her and her office as they have never had much controversy and provide me good service IMO) but with Beasley. This should be filed as an election commission violation and he needs to be removed from the voting process until it can be determined if he has violated his offices ethical commitments. I will not tolerate this kind of conduct with the person in charge of voting integrity. I don't support Lynch, but if I was her I'd have his head.

I'm not positive it's a violation, but it doesn't seem right IMO. It is typical Walton county....If it's not a violation I will apologize. It might be an elections commission issue instead of Ethics.

I already said, My issue was not the Sheriff or Skipper, it's Beasley. If that isn't him driving her support trailer in the parade, I want to know so I can apologize. I don't know him well and want to make sure that was him. Did anybody else see that during the parade or was I mistaken.

I honestly don't see the difference in Cecilia Jones cavorting all around the county with T. Anderson or Sara Comander contributing to T. Anderson's campaign and what you say Beasley is doing.

Clarification. When the parade route began all of the children were walking along with the small wagon being pulled by Mrs. Skippers supporters. Bobby Beasley was driving his own truck towing his boat with his supporters representing himself. During the parade the smaller children simply got hot and tired and did not want to walk anymore. At this point Bobby was gracious enough to allow the children to sit in the back of his truck. There was nothing intentionally done to create the appearance of an endorsement, and we certainly appreciated Mr. Beasley accommodating the children. Bobby was the hero in this circumstance and we regret any negative feelings toward him as a result of his act of kindness. "Serve Others"

I don't think what they are doing is right either, but just because you like/don't like somebody it doesn't make their actions OK. And nobody asked you to do anything Bob wells, I simply asked for confirmation that was him....

I think it's an issue. Unfortunately until people realize their elected positions can at times prevent them from doing certain things and the voters actually care about who's comingling up in DFS, nothing will change.

Right now a majority of the Walton Community doesn't care about their elected officials behavior and for some, it's been status quo as far back as they remember.

This is one reason A Better S Walton has legs.

I guess all is good in a parade, even Cecilia Jones using county employees to set up Tony Anderson election tent. But heyyyyyy, she's a "GOOD CHRISTIAN" and that's what good christians do, help each other.She's scratching Tony's back...what do you think she wants back?(Jerry thinks he knows) But it was the fourth, and in the name of patriotism and hot children tired from campaigning like children get when campaigning, we shouldn't follow the rules. Right Danny?

File the complaint, unless your scared...

I thought that's what friends and supporters did...arrange events, set-ups etc. I don't think ANY county employee has any business being told or led by Cecilia Jones to do anything for a candidate! But then again, I have always believed that C. Jones is the invisible voice behind many of the posts on his FB page and website running T. Anderson's campaign. I would hope that whoever saw county employees setting up the tents got pictures.

You are comingling two very different issues. Giving a ride to tired children is one thing. My gosh, think of how much condemnation would have come Mr. Beasley's way if he had refused to let a child ride and that child had a heat stroke or something. So he did the right thing and helped some children. County employees in any way being involved in electioneering on the clock is totally inappropriate. One is an act of compassion towards children, the other is taking advantage of taxpayer money. However, if the county employees were out of uniform and off the clock, they can help any candidate they choose. I am very sensitive about protecting employees from undue political pressure and am totally against it. Once upon a time I was a county employee who was forced to attend rallies, put a campaign sign in my yard and otherwise campaign for my boss and I do not have fond memories of the practice.
