I've Been Re-elected Unopposed--Thank You District 1 Voters!
The 2014 Campaign for Escambia County School Board, District 1, has ended. At 12:01 yesterday afternoon, the last day of qualifying, I received a call from Supervisor of Elections Mr. David Stafford.
He called to let me know that no other candidates had entered my race by the deadline, and therefore I had been re-elected without opposition.
Although I had prepared for a grueling race, I'm extremely grateful and very much humbled that the people in my district saw fit to send me back to the board for another term without any opposition. To my constituents in district 1-- I will continue to work as hard as I can for you to make our schools as best they can be; I'll continue to keep it real and challenge the status quo wherever and whenever it appears, and I will always put students, parents, and taxpayers first--nothing is changing in that regard going forward. That is my promise to you, that is what I'll do. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

I thought about running against you but I'm not experienced enough. :-P. Maybe next time, if I'm still in Pcola.
Lorraine-You should always follow your heart and if led to do so you should have run. I know you and I are both concerned about students, however I know we are diametrically opposed with respect to some education issues. Nevertheless, I would have welcomed the challenge, I would have welcomed the debate on the issues. However, at the end of the day, I feel as though a majority of district 1 lines up with my conservative approach; Your view may be more widely accepted in pockets of the country in the Northeast or perhaps the San Francisco Bay area of California--areas that are very liberal. It's all a moot point at this stage though. Best of luck to you.
