Tomorrow the city of Gainesville, Florida will be holding an election for two city commission seats. In both, the incumbents are running for reelection, with challengers. The at-large seat, for which I will be voting, encompasses the entire city while the District 1 seat is only for the delineated section comprising mainly southeastern Gainesville. Usually these March elections are generally ignored by the voting population with turnout hovering around an appalling 12%. Folks, if you've been upset and have complained of late about the sorry state of politics in this country and you're not bothering to get up and vote when the opportunities arise to select your representatives and leaders, then you're part of the problem! Start being part of the solution, check up on these races and the candidates if you live here, and begin the civically responsible habit of regularly voting as a caring, informed citizen...don't just vote when you happen to "feel the Bern"...
At-Large:
GAIL JOHNSON
HARVEY BUDD (incumbent)
District 1:
TYRA "TY LOUDD" EDWARDS
CHARLES EDWARD GOSTON (incumbent)
GIGI SIMMONS
