Only Democrat To Prefile For Escambia District 5 Commission Seat Has Withdrawn

May 28, 2020

The only Democrat to prefile so far for the Escambia County Commission District 5 seat has withdrawn from the race.

Barbara Goins prefiled in June 2019 but officially withdrew from the race on Thursday.

Two Republicans, incumbent Steven Barry and Megan Walters, have also prefiled.  The final field of candidates for the seat won’t be set until qualifying ends at noon on June 12.

    Please consider running again in the future. We need and win when there is a diverse slate of passionate stakeholders on the ballot.

    Again. Give all drivers full time hours instead of cutting them 15 or twenty minutes. We’re suppose to be important. Well show us. We get no money in summer we are forgotten until we call in sick or have what is that word. In Service. Then we’re important. We need unemployment in the summer. Shouldn’t have to try to find someone to hire us for a few months. We deserve unemployment. Stimulus checks. And a Great big Thank you for doing our drive too.

    She suffered a great loss as well. I hope she files again in the future. She is a bright, small business owner, and will be a an asset as public servant.
