Gomez Wins Another Century Council Term; Two Want To Be Mayor, Five Running For Two Other Council Seats
June 13, 2020
Two people want to be mayor of Century, one incumbent council member has earned another term, and five candidates will face off for two seats on the council. Friday was the last day of qualifying for public offices in Escambia County.
In Century, former council member Ben Boutwell is running against incumbent Henry Hawkins for mayor. The part-time job pays $10,131.98 per year.
No one filed to run again incumbent council member Luis Gomez, Jr. – so he was automatically reelected to Seat 2 on the council.
Incumbent council member Ann Brooks drew two opponents – Calvin Cottrell, Jr. and Dynette Lewis.
Seat 3 was added to the ballot after Boutwell resigned to run for mayor. Shelisa Dorshae McCall and Leonard B. White qualified to seek the position.
Council members are payed $3,714.92 per year.
Those elected to council and the mayor will be sworn in on January 4, 2021.

Can we vote in people who can keep the water running in and out for the best cost. Can we realize we need the manager Vernon Prather with the knowledge of utilities? And hope the CATF is working on that? Can Century be the success story in the middle of chaos nationally. I hope so. I think so. I pray so. Simple as that.
Seems to be a pretty crowded field.
Replace politicians, not monuments-VOTE THEM OUT!
