Blackburn Running For Sheriff

October 9, 2015

Thursday, Rex Blackburn of Cantonment became the fifth candidate to prefile for Escambia County Sheriff in the 2016 general election.

Blackburn is running with no party affiliation. Incumbent David Morgan, Doug Baldwin, John Johnson and Ron McNesby have prefiled as Republicans.

Blackburn ran unsuccessfully for Escambia County School Board District 5 in 2000. He also prefiled for the Sheriff’s race in 2012, withdrawing his name during qualification week.

    What is up with these guys? He was an campaign enforcer for Ronnie Mac. People are sick of this good old boy crap. Seems like not much talent around to give current guy a run for his money. What does that say about the local talent.

    The more people that enter the race the more it helps the current sheriff.

    Still voting for Mr. Johnson.

    McNesby must have lost his mind.
