So we’re rid of Saco?
She is not running for re-election.
🥳🍻🎉🎊🎆🎇🍹🍷
Good riddance, she was a wack-a-doo anyway.
Hopefully she’s moving to San Francisco or Portland.
Or Canada when Donald J. Trump wins the Presidency of the USA!!

“Trump and Biden are tied in 538’s new election forecast
Trump has a slight edge in the polls, but the fundamentals favor Biden.”

Arreola must be doing the thumbs down thing. Maybe Saco and him have something going on? That’s a little scary. Could you imagine the fruit of their loins?
Really scary if you think about it.
fits right in with the current city commission. Cythia Chestnut seems to be the reasonable 1 now after being installed. I’m almost glad nobody opposed her.
Neither of the alternatives look too good to me.
This is so depressing…
For all of the conservative voters out there, if you’re reading this, you’ve read the list and you’ve seen your choices. If you don’t get out to vote and encourage others to vote you’ve got no one to blame, (other than the Democrat majority), and yourselves, for the idiots who may get elected to office.
Hopefully your voices will be heard, maybe we can stop the nonsense going on with local government.
Don’t fail to notice that former idiot city commissioner is running for state office. If you don’t want it to have the opportunity to screw up more than just Gainesville, do your part – Get out and vote.
Who is the “former idiot city commissioner” running for state office
David Arreola (DEM)
You got it.
Evidently there’s a (D), who either didn’t like your answer or didn’t know the answer.
“D” is for dummies, or Democrats – that explains a lot of things.
I would really like to know the non-partisan positions, whether they’re Democrat or Republican because that makes a huge difference these days. I want to vote for the Right side of history people.
Oh, there’s no one from the Republican side running district 21 for house and I’m stuck with the Democrat still joy joy. This sooooooo depressing.
Vote NO on retaining all incumbent judges. For starters.
Good idea, it is always hard to find info about them.
Request: between now and November, in any article on the elections and candidates please include this link

Being able to read the contributions of the candidates is really informative, and tells voters who the candidate’s special interest buddies are.
I just posted after seeing you already did… oh well.
Just smile and say “great minds think alike.” 🙂
Good link. Thanks

There are no good candidates for the City Of Gainesville
I agree. No one in their right mind would run because they are likely to lose and, if on the off chance the won, they’d be hamstrung by 6 other idiots.
I thought Judith Jensen failed to qualify, because her opposition disqualified enough of her petitions.
She got the required #.
