Are you thinking about running? :leaving:

Anyone who can get you two to agree must be a miracle worker.
While that may be so, the loss of Cindy Meadows as a Walton County Commissioner will set the county back to a period that was prevalent before she was elected. With the election of Sara Commander and the presence of Cindy on the commission, things were really beginning to look up for a progressive Walton County. She is a thoughtful, intelligent and wise commissioner. I, for one, hope she will reconsider when she realizes how highly she is thought of by her constituency.
amen to that!

And anyone who could get Andy A. and I to agree, well...she should be running for higher office. I wonder if we could get someone responsive to run for my district (which would give her and Comander a working majority) and maybe take some of the S. Walton responsibility off her, she would reconsider.
Think about it...the one woman is basically the only representative of all of SoWal, and she is so incredibly responsive and fair. It's too much to ask of anyone. SoWal is part of two districts, and yet Cindy Meadows is our only advocate on the BCC.
People, we've got to start voting down here.

Yes, I am filing my papers on Monday
I think we all know I am not a resident nor do I plan to be any time soon. Thanks for the laugh!

One thing I think WE ALL agree on is this:
Sara Comander is a breath of fresh air in Walton County.
Regarding Meadows, I'm not sure I can ever excuse her absence from the all too important Redfish Village vote last year. Her excuse was family illness. Maybe so.
But at a minimum, she should have requested that the vote be postponed if she knew she could not make it since this VERY IMPORTANT issue took place in her district. I think she caved in but did not want to go on record. That way, she makes no "real" enemies on either side.
Sara Comander was the only one with the courage and fortitude to stand up to the "FAB 3".

Who is Bob Hudson ?
(Please forgive this short introduction - I will be back often during the upcoming campaign. But wrobert mentioned to me that this thread had started and that I should make a introduction quickly)
Pat and I retired here 7 years ago from Dallas, Texas. This was the last stop on a career of over 30 years with the largest male youth serving organization in America. In my last 5 years with that organization I seved as the National Director of Fiscal Management with as staff of 39 CPA's that were responsible for the accounting functions in 343 locations in the US and 7 foreign countries.
We chose Walton County and specifically Santa Rosa Beach as our last residence. Like many of you we vacationed here for over 30 years renting units along the 30-A corridor and our family grew to love this area.
I spent my first 2 years fishing almost daily. I caught enough fish to last a lifetime and found a new interest in the Walton County Taxpayers Association. I have served on that Board for almost five years. I have attended over 80 percent of the Board of County Commissioner's meeting's ,Walton County School Board meetings, South Walton Fire District and even the South Walton Mosquito Control Board meetings. I have served that organization as Treasurer and as it's webmaster. My primary focus with them has been in the financial analysis area. I consider that organization to be the premier "taxpayers advocate" organization in Florida. It has existed for over 28 years and has served Walton County taxpayer interest well. That is where I initally met wrobert as he was a member of that organization when I was asked to serve.
I have been interested in politics all of my life. I truly enjoy the American process of government. I once served as a School Board member for 5 years.
I have worked with CIndy on many common issues. Although I was asked by many to run for the District 5 Commissioner position, I made a decision to support Cindy in her re-election. I met with her personally over a year ago and told her that I would not run against her. I was in a meeting with her less that 2 weeks ago and restated my intention to support her.
Tuesday of this past week everything changed. I received a call informing me that Cindy had made a decision not to seek a second term. Like many of you, I was shocked by her decision. I was more shocked by who was left in the pre-qualified pool.
I decided that I would pre-qualify.
I am currently securing the necessary 343 candidate petition's required. This is a tremendous task in a 9 day period.
I will continue to check this site daily, but I must spend the time to actually have my name added to the ballot. After that is done I will answer any and all questions that are posted on this site.
My cell number is 543-2378. Have a question ? Call me.
Thank you !

Cindy's brother had open heart surgery in Tallahassee at that time.
