07-25-22 Handout - Election - Mayor GlasserMany races will be on the August 23 Primary Ballot this election
season. It can be confusing, and your ballots will differ by,where
you live and your party registration. The list of these races is at
the link.
What will NOT be on your August Ballot are any of the three beaches
Mayor, City Council, or City Commission races. All these races are
nonpartisan. Qualifying dates have past for both Jacksonville Beach
and Neptune Beach. Of the municipal seats up for election, here is a
snapshot to date:
Jacksonville Beach: Three Council seats are up for election this year
and all of them are already decided, after all candidates qualified
and were unopposed. Congratulations on re—election to incumbent
Council Members—Elect Cory Nichols (Seat 4, District 1) and Sandy
Koralis Golding (Seat 6, District 3). Congratulations to incoming
Council Member—Elect Bill Horn (Seat 5, District 2) who will take
office after Council Member Georgette Dumont (Seat 5, District 2), who
decided NOT to run again, completes her term. Seat 3 is not up for
re—election but since current Council Member Chet Stokes has resigned
to run for State House Seat 16, you can expect some action in the
future to fill his Council seat, effective midnight November 7.
Neptune Beach: Two seats are up for election this year, with only one
contested. In the November General Election, Neptune Beach will decide
Council Seat 4, between incumbent Josh Messinger for Neptune Beach and
Christine Burke. Congratulations to incumbent Councilor—Elect Nia
Livingston (Seat 5) who qualified and was unopposed.
Atlantic Beach: Three seats are up for election this year, including
my seat as Mayor, and, so far, two of them are contested. In our
City, candidates must qualify by September 2. Atlantic Beach races
are decided in the General Election, which is why our qualifying date
is later than the other beach cities. Seats up for election and
current filed candidates are:
Mayor*, Seat 1 — Brittany Norris, Commissioner, Seat 5 in Atlantic
Beach and Curtis Ford
Commissioner, Seat 4 — Candace Kelly (incumbent) and Jenn Deery
Lagner.
Commissioner, Seat 5 — Jessica Ring (currently unopposed)
* The Atlantic Beach Mayor serves a two—year term. Every other seat
for the three beach cities has a four—year term.
Thanks to all who step up to serve.
