So if you are a conservative who would like to make a difference in how local government is conducted what do you do?
Run as a Republican and get all of the super minority conservative vote and loose each and every time?
No this approach has failed time and time again and again.
You need to be a conservative who plans about 3 years ahead by changing your voter registration to Democrat (yes there is a Florida voter website the public can get that data from).
Then start donating nominal amounts to local Democrats, attend government meetings, speak complementary to leftist Nannies at the meetings while reminding them of your donation status.
Then you run as a Democrat and win.
Any other method a conservative takes to win elected office here in Leon County is a disingenuous waste of time and money and frankly just stupid.
Anyway after you win you must continue to act as the rare Democrat with common sense if you want to get reelected.
Thats how you can make a difference.
Am I right Bill, Steve, anyone else that tried as a Republican? Yeah there was Manny back in the day but that was a one off that is NOT scheduled to happen again in our area in the next 137 years.

Keep in mind our elected officials are budgeting to the sensibilities of the leftist super majority of voters in our communitty. Conservative opinions of what is right or wrong are never a factor.
Its always been this way and likely always will stay this way. It is still wrong but I hope the above information helps new residents and young people get a better understanding of how and why local government works the way it does in this little island of leftys in a sea of North Florida conservative common sense normal thinking people.
This is what you have stepped into.
