In lieu of another candidate Q&A session today I wanted to post an opinion from a normal voter in district 7. I am still waiting to get questions from candidates Martha Pellino, Johnny Gaffney and Carolyn Anderson.

I would also like to request that if you plan on supporting a district 7 candidte please tell me who an why? I’ll post the best ones. Send your emails to urbanjacksonville @ gmail.com

Why I support Dr. Johnny Gaffney for District 7.

First and foremost, Dr. Gaffney is the most qualified candidate. He has undergraduate, masters and doctorate degrees and years of work experience to bring to the citizens of district 7. As a graduate of Ribault high school and the University of Florida he litterally grew up in the area he’ll be representing. If anyone should know what our district needs it is Dr. Johnny Gaffney.

Strong leadership is required, particularly right now as District 7 is clearly in a transition phase. With drugs and crime, absentee landlords, urban blight and suffering schools, District 7 is a district like no other. For these reasons we need someone like Dr. Gaffney representing us. He has the experience of living and working here, seeing the problems first hand and knowing what needs to be done in this district. More importantly he has the work experience and strong family values that will enable him to be a powerful and influential advocate for our district.

My family and I are voting for Dr. Johnny Gaffney and I hope you will join us!

Stephen Albee, Springfield
