Kurt For County Commissioner

Well, South Walton certainly needs some representation. Our numbers would dictate that we should have two commissioners. District 1 and District 5 should both carry the load for South Walton. Hopefully, we'll have a full slate for both District 1 and District 5. Cindy has carried most of the load recently. It sure would be great to have the District 1 seat on board for South Walton again.

I don't think I own property in 5. Besides, the only place for me in governement is the tax code.

I will gladly vote for you though.

I think we need a commish for Sandestin/Miramar, and 2 for 30A. Or maybe South Walton County should be South Walton COUNTY.

It is a completely different world when you compare to NoWal!

With the number of residents now in the area, I imagine the district is going to drastically shrink in 2011. Sowal will probably be two districts to themselves after redistricting.

Kurt for District 2 Commissioner

Run, Kurt, Run!

You could run for D-1 and Smiling JOe for D-5 ;-) .

Even as a non-resident, I like that idea. Truth is, the northern two-thirds and southern third of Walton County are two different worlds with different needs. Same goes for Okaloosa.

Ars kissers!!!!!

Hey you could be the "SoWal Machine" leader like in Chicago who intimidates voters that don't vote "correctly."

Nope won't do it, I like for people to think for themselves and not follow the droves. Politics and religion are the opiate of the masses and the blind will follow like sheep!!!

In all seriousness, lets take the bull by the horns and get behind someone. I would love to have Kurt or SJ or any of the knowledgeable posters on this sight run for office. We are blessed to have so many great people on this board who would be absolutely fabulous as a county commissioner. And the support system for that candidate would be plentiful. I know that I would volunteer to help the candidate run and when elected, help the commish doing legwork. Please please please....lets get a meeting and form a committee. I nominate Punzy to take charge !!!! (She has political experience). Punzy, I volunteer to assist you. LETS MAKE THIS HAPPEN !!!!!!!

Write-ins?

We know Kurt's last name. I gues Sj could be "Smiling JOe SoWal.comsky or McSoWal.comster- he would need a last name.

I thought his last name was JOe? I was stuck on kurt's?

His last name is Hanger!!!

let's not allow this thread to die. We need to merge behind a candidate.

who's doin' it??

I'm mergin'....where's the candidate?

I hear McCain is easy to do that with. Considering he's going 45 in the fast lane with his blinker on.

Sorry I couldn't resist on that one.

For a write in to count, they still must qualify during the week in June. Just does not cost them anything.

You can say that again. More of an education and socio-economic situation I think. Strange to me that the schools in the extreme south end of the county and the extreme north end seem to score so well, while the two in the middle are struggling.

I know enough about poliTRICKS to run! ... run in the opposite direction.

Well, I'll accept the role of campaign chair.

Someone find me a candidate.

Kurt, District 1

District 5:
Kelly Buzzett, Jenny Dargavell, Anita Page, Clair Bannerman

Any other suggestions?

One thing I am sure of....a slot on the TDC reserved for a tourism-related businessperson opens up this fall. I'll be nominating Dave Rauschkolb. He has shown leadership above and beyond...and even if he doesn't want to run for office, we need to draft him in some capacity. And we need a restauranteur on that commission, someone with a broader view of tourism.

You need to be the one running for BCC!

And I agree with your comments about the TDC board.

Oh BTW- Cecilia Jones is running for District 5. She was handing out campaign info on cards in Freeport when I was up there last week, so I grabbed one. If anyone knows her, please ask her to post some info on SoWal.com.

Hasn't Tony Vallee filed for District 1?

Hummmm I would do it but I would have to many people indited and well, The Sheriffs race is wide open! I know tons of people in Sowal and even more in Nowal. Just found out I'm in the walton county gene pool through a second cousin!

Hasn't Tony Vallee filed for District 1?

He decided no to run this time.
