Seventh Candidate Enters District 5 Escambia Commission Race

April 18, 2008

A seventh candidate has tossed his name into the race for the Escambia County Commission District 5 seat.

Jim Barnett, a resident of Camde Lane in Molino, filed Thursday to run as a Democrat in the race.

Barnett ran unsuccessfully for Congress back in 1994 and followed that with an unsuccessful bid for the District 1 seat on the Emerald Coast Utilities Authority.

Other Democrats in the race are John Hartman of Gonzalez and Georgette Harris of Cantonment.

Republicans in the race are incumbent Kevin White of Molino, Randall McCrackin of Cantonment, Packy Mitchell of Cantonment, and Chris Washler of Cantonment.

The seven will appear on the August 26 primary election. The general election is November 4.
