Thanks for posting! Democrats seem to have a lot of mojo around here. I hope you'll encourage local candidates to post here so we can learn more about them. The forum is moderated and we promise to be kind.

[b]local Democratic candidates[/b]

Demo candidates will definitely be encouraged to post their info on SoWal. We already have three who are pertinent to the area.  Go to [URL="http://www.waltondemocrats.org"]www.waltondemocrats.org[/URL] and click on candidates/local.  You'll find info about a Democratic sheriff's candidate (the lone Demo in a field of seven Republicans), a  demo candidate for US Representative in District 1 against Jeff Miller and a demo state house candidate in north Walton's District 5, now held by Rep. Don Brown.

Only three.:idontno:  

Doesn't Allen Boyd represent the south end of Walton County in DC and is a sitting member of the House Appropriations Committee (i.e. probably the most influential committee).  Are the local dems not supporting that race as that would be a terrible seat for not only the Democrats, but especially Walton County if they are going to pursue federal dollars for projects.  I would go so far as to say that your club may want to think about hosting a fundraiser for him to compete in the Republican stronghold of NW Florida like was held in 2002.
