Escambia Commission: Lumon May Wins Democratic Nod; Bergosh Returns To Seat
August 19, 2020
Three incumbent Escambia County commissioners were winners in the Tuesday’s election, sending two of them back for another term and one to the November ballot.
In District 1, incumbent Jeff Bergosh had 38.69% percent of the vote to defeat three others for the win. With no November challenger, he will serve an additional term. Jessee Casey received 31.02% of the vote, Jonathan Owens had 22.48% and Jimmie Trotter had 7.8%.
District 3 saw brother take on brother in the Democratic primary. Incumbent Lumon May received 89.01% of the vote, while his brother Rev. LuTimothy May garnered 10.99%. Lumon May, who was endorsed by his mother, will be on the ballot in November. He does not have a Republican challenger, but Jason Laird is qualified as a write-in candidate.

Jeff tells people the truth, not always just what they want to hear. He is the best man for the job.
Knew Mr. Bergosh when we were working at the school distruct and he first appeared on the political scene attempting to follow in his brother’s larger footsteps.
Pleased, along with many other ECSD employees, that he is now on the Board of Escambia County Commissioners.
Yes, ALL Politicians NEED to look at the numbers of their own party members who did NOT vote for them and try to find out what needs to be Fixed.
Thankful to our Founding Fathers for having the foresight to provide us an opportunity to VOTE in this Amazing United States of America.
@Frankly
I agree with you 100%, when i read the story i was just about to write basically the same thing you did. he does look good sitting in that BIG CHAIR and relaxing.
Congrats to Luman. Thanks for all the hardwork and dedication you have put into the community all these years.
I hope Bergosh’s seat has a headrest! Wow!
If I were a Democrat, I would have voted for LuTimothy out of pity. Poor.man’s mama dissed him.
i hope that Mr Bergosh can humble himself and see that over 8600 of his constituents voted ,NO to him returning, weather he won or not that is a vote of no confidence. May need to do a town hall to see why? I am a lifelong Republican an i am not happy with this winner take all format that lets 38% winner be elected. and call me a sore loser, but that is a low number for re-election.
Though not in my district…. Personally, I can say Jeff is a good man. Not perfect like me and you but a warrior.
No matter how hard we try, voting out the corrupt always seem to fail.
