Saw this, for Anna Brosche for City Council At-Large Group 1

Not much substance, yet, but there's more than a year to go.

She's an amazing lady! Don't know much about her political leanings or her perspective on many local issues, but I can attest to her as a person. Sure hoping her views align with mine cause I'd love to support her.

I am starting to love how some of the races are heating up. District 7 is all fired up with myself and five others running. I think its very important to keep issues out there. If you believe in an issue make sure you find out how the candidates sway on an issue. I look forward to learning and growing in this race to help improve Jacksonville.

Seriously, Is there any candidate Past, Present, and Future that can tell us all where there is more Public Access and Economic Opportunity to our St. Johns River our American Heritage River a FEDERAL Initiative in our new highly restricted DIA zone that is from the Fuller Warren Bridge to the Mathews Bridge?

Spent a good deal of time with Anna today and it seems she is a socially progressive republican. Her platform is primarily built around smaller government, business development, and better education. Not sure where she would stand or how much she understands about urban development/planning/growth, but she does have a good grasp of attracting businesses and creating a pro-business environment that can create positive results in the community. Sorry I don't have much else to share, but I suppose the best news is she is running to

TAKE KIMBERLY DANIELS' SEAT!!!

[Know Growth]

Had Mattox Hair run,and likely won Mayor race some years ago,everything would be at least a little wee bit different today.

What a "Duval Delegation" era waste..............

[Kay]

Yes, Love is running for a 2nd term.

He's gonna have a lot of 'splaining to do...

What's that saying?  You can't please all of the people all of the time.  Love has his weaknesses, as do all of us.  But just some of the things he's done and doing are:  funding half the dog park; provided funds to Stockton Park, will be kicking in significant cash towards Memorial Park renovation; got us the weekend night trolley, totally supportive of the 5 Points pedestrian improvements and is committed to getting the City to fund the construction projects.  He listens to everyone.  He's trying really hard to find a good balance between what residents want and what businesses want.  When it comes to new development in the neighborhood, no one ends up getting everything they want--residents or business owners.  We've got a neighborhood of engaged citizens and that's a good thing.  While it can seem messy and controversial, it is set up as a democratic process (zoning).

New city council members have a huge learning curve.  I've come to really appreciate Love.  He cares, is accessible and will continue to learn and grow in the role.

Love isn't in my District but I've been very impressed in his time on Waterways and other issues. He was instrumental with the Boat Ramp master plan 2013-380 along with Waterways Commission member Scott Shine and yesterday at the full Board meeting 1/15/14 of the DIA Board member Mike Saylor will be the representative assigned to work with Waterways. He has returned phone calls and emails and from an observational standpoint has represented the constituents in a very open process.

PS. We also kayaked Hogans Creek.

Who's next?

His stance on the HRO pissed off just about everybody under age 35 who lives in his district, and many of the older ones. If you can't honor this country's 250 year old commitment to the separation of church and state and are unable to avoid putting your personal religious beliefs over what your constituents want, then you don't deserve to hold public office. I think you're underestimating the number of people who are still hacked off over that.

I....can't.....believe....I....am, no I like Kay and love what she has done with RAP and I am in agreement with her on Jim Love. I actually asked to help him with his re-election campaign. Yes, Vox, I did that, I know, I know....

He has done a lot of good for the locals here. Had Corrigan been awake and watching the developments of Mojo, he could have done some heavy lifting before the whole Mellow issue came to a head. Jim did what he could for it, no one is going to win on every issue. I am a BIG fan of Intuition, but I also have lost at Zoning meetings, I don't hold it against my neighbors. Stuff happens. Jim was instrumental in getting $130,000 for the dog park in Memorial Park, I don't think Corrigan did anything of that magnitude in all the time of his representation of Dist 14. The PCT Riverside Avondale Trolley, he was instrumental in this working with the developer of the app to make that happen. Say what you want about the guy, he delivers for the masses in HIS district. Yeah, I wanted him to pass the equal rights amendment, but maybe we can get him to change his mind for next term!

I hear you.  Maybe some of his constituents could ask for a meeting with him to discuss that topic.

I don't think Corrigan did anything of that magnitude in all the time of his representation of Dist 14.

Mr. Corrigan did pay to have the pond in Riverside Park cleaned out so that it no longer looks and smells like a huge bowl of spoiled green pea soup.  Those of us who use the park are very grateful.
