Title: Downballot Candidates
Post by: JFman00 on July 28, 2016, 02:38:35 PM
Got my primary absentee ballot, trying to find out more information on down ballot candidates particularly the 4th Judicial Circuit contests and State Committeeman/Commiteewoman. Any idea where to go?

State Attorney, 4th Judicial Circuit

Melissa Nelson

Public Defender, 4th Judicial Circuit

Charlie Cofer

Clerk of the Circuit Court

Mike Riley

Circuit Judge, 4th Judicial Circuit,
Group 9

David P. Trotti

Circuit Judge, 4th Judicial Circuit,
Group 25

Gerald L. Wilkerson - This is my top pick.  Qualified and a good person.

I don't know anything about Melissa Nelson besides the fact that she's not Angela Corey and the NRA endorsed her.

Mike Riley is not Ronnie Fussell, also the only positive I know about him.

I was thinking Wilkerson just because of Hulsey's splash in the news, but then apparently he employs(ed) Ken Adkins to build his website who tweeted: "Been through so much with these Jacksonville Homosexuals that I don't see none of them as victims. I see them as getting what they deserve!"

Not very thrilled with any of the choices on this ballot to include Senator and Congressman.
