THE RACES ( http://www.keys-elections.org/candidates.aspx )
COUNTY:
BOCC
Dixie's done.
Sylvia's in.
Sonny might survive the election, but only if he dos not lose the sex suit.
Too bad we can't vote AGAINST that maniac DiGennaro right now.

SHERIFF
Peryman looks the best - most qualified. Qualified trumps. The helicopter is what wins or loses this race.

CLERK OF THE COURTS
Danny Kolhage - running unopposed - Yea!

SUPERVISOR OF ELECTIONS
Harry Sawyer has a great, and well-earned reputation. All his staff is well-trained, efficient, dedicated, and all have great customer-service skills. There's no reason to vote for his opponent

PROPERTY APPRAISER
Ervin Higgs is the best PA Monroe has had in years, and needs to be re-elected to continue his efforts. Chris Sante wants the job, owns a lot of property, and is totally not QUALIFIED to run anything except his rentals.

SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
Randy's got it. Fred L Colvard is ok, but not strong enough to take out an incumbent. This is one which is going to get noisy, and probably nasty.

SCHOOL BOARD, KLWTD, KL FIRE & EMS MED DISTRICTS, MOSQUITO BOARD all kinds of activity -- too low for the radar

WASHINGTON:
House of Representatives
No more Ileana, hope she loses. We only see her when she's running. Hope Annette Taddeo wins.

STATE:
Attorney (Circuit 16)
Dennis Ward or Mark Kohl - hhmmmm... This one's really "time for a change" ... sorry Mark

Senator (District 39)
No more Larcenia Bullard. Another one we only see during elections (thank you!) Too bad nobody's running against her - so we're stuck with her.

Representative (District 120)
Ron's running unopposed. Good. Oops - not anymore.

Circuit Judge (only Part 4 of District 16 - 16/4)
Lots of names, not much info available - yet. Richard Behr, Manny Madruga, Jiulio Margalli, Tegan Slaton, Mary VanderBrook.
