Another Alvin Brown Endorsement

Yep, Hazouri has endorsed Alvin Brown. Now on his web site. I am hearing polls showing a statistical dead heat with Hogan with Brown rising rapidly.

And all the momentum swinging Brown's way. My grandma told me today that she's voting for Alvin Brown. Shocked me. Shocked.

This week at the beaches rotary Alvin brown hit a grand slam!! He picked up lots of votes!! One man after the meeting was shaking his head when Alvin was through. Someone asked him why he was shaking his head and he replied he early voted for hogan and knew now he made a mistake. He vowed to swing some hogan voters over to wipe out his mistake.

which is why the R party just gave Hogan $100k...me think he may be running a tad scared

If you can donate to your candidate may want to do it now.

Another thing I like about Brown's campaign, is there has been nothing (at least that I have read, seen or heard ) from him , defaming or mudslinging his opponent. That in itself is impressive. Lets see how Mr. Hogan does on this particular subject through the rest of the campaign.

I try to handle that for them.

Hogan picked up an endorsement today, too. Suzanne Jenkins last night announced on Facebook that she's throwing in her lot with Hogan.

^^at Jimmy, I had the same shock with my grandparents!

I find it very unusual this morning that nowhere in any of the local media websites is there even so much as a small mention of yesterdays endorsement announcement. I have searched the TU, News4Jax, First Coast News and Action News websites and can not find anything. It may have been in their on air broadcasts but I don't usually watch any of them. If it wasn't for MJ I would not have even know that Tommy endorsed Mr Brown yesterday. I thought our local news stations were supposed to tell us about local news events. Or do they not consider this news? Just wondering..

Quite true. I got into a little back-and-forth on twitter yesterday with one of the TU's political reporters. I wonder if the newsroom is trying to balance out the editorial staff's endorsement of Alvin Brown. They did a post yesterday about Councilwoman Jenkins endorsing Hogan. Well, cool, and all. Suzanne is lovely and I'm sure Hogan is glad to get the help of a former 2-term GOP councilmember.

Mayor Hazouri has a higher profile and is a current elected official. Crickets.

Councilman Art Shad, a two-term current councilmember, endorsed Alvin. Crossed party lines to do it. Crickets.

Unless I'm being unfair to local media or have somehow missed the articles.

I saw Alvin at Art Walk last night. He really looked like he was enjoying himself. I hope he wins.

And wouldn't it be great to see him out enjoying himself at all kinds of city events, just mingling among the people all the time?

Yeah, I haven't been thrilled with the TU's coverage of the race either. But that guess might be correct, they probably didn't want to seem in the can for Alvin. It is nice to see people wising up, though, after the runoff. Brown is clearly the stronger candidate, and the best choice for Jacksonville.
