    I looked up all of the elected officials in the county and found the majority were republicans. I only saw two democrats.

    Of course, the numbers can’t reflect people like me who are registered with a major party and vote 3rd party..

    This proves life is good!! Why does Santa Rosa have more smart people than Escambia. The numbers kind of make the case in my “opinion”. The numbers may tell us why Escambia County is behind the 8 ball on county growth, and why nothing ever get done pasted 9 mile road. We don’t have enough good guys to get things accomplished in this county. I say 80% Republican in Escambia County would just about do it to make things work. “This is my Opinion”!!!!
