Escambia County Spokesperson Laura Coale Resigns; Three New PR Employees Hired
August 19, 2021
Escambia County Director for Communications and Public Information Laura Coale has resigned, and the county has hired three new public information staffers.
“I am very grateful to have served as the director for communications and public information at Escambia County. I am diligently training the new employees to ensure a smooth transition, and there are plans in place for additional crisis communications support if needed,” Coale wrote in an email to Interim County Administrator Wes Moreno.
Coale’s last day on the job will be October 1. She was hired in late 2019 by former administrator Janice Gilley.
The three new public information employees, filling previous vacant positions, are:
- Davis Wood, public information and education officer for Public Safety (He was previously on air at NewsRadio 92.3/1620 as “Davis Allen”.)
- Andie Gibson, media and public information manager
- Sarah Stanford, multimedia communications specialist for the library system

underpaid and working in a brutal job cost the taxpayers in retraining , paperwork by the HR department . Turnover at this rate is not good for anyone . Who wants that kind of job ? Who can get good at a job when turnover is constant . Ms Coale will do better , who wouldn’t do better than a job apparently no one can stand to have .
Cut and run while you have your dignity…. Good take ma’am
Dear steve, you have no clue. What they are paying the PR director is less than you make at walmart if you just go by pay/hours. It’s a brutal job.
I know of a couple of county comm
who need to resign…..
less than two years on the job and she can’t take it anymore . Something “ stinks “ in this county . We deserve better . What did this cost the taxpayers ?
