Two Qualify, One Prefiles For Century Council Seats

As of Wednesday, two candidates have qualified and one has pre-filed for a special election to select two new Century town council members.
Shelisa McCall prefiled for Council Seat 3, meaning she must complete the qualification process to appear on the ballot. She is serving interimly in the seat and is president of the chamber of commerce.
Alicia Johnson and Eddie Hammond qualified for Council Seat 4. Both are former town employees, and Johnson was appointed on an interim basis to the seat in January.
Qualifying is open until noon Friday, February 24, at the Supervisor of Elections Office at 213 Palafox Place in Pensacola.
The special general election will be held on Tuesday, March 28. If three or more candidates qualify for either of the seats, a special primary election will be held on Tuesday, March 14. The qualification fee is $50, and candidates must be registered voters living in the Century town limits.

John Bone Jones,

Bob, you’re a sarcasticaball pro.
Former town employee running for office. Should be well versed on how to run a town incorrectly.
Obviously, these people are the cream of the crop. I am sure they have the education, experience and leadership skills needed to fix all of Century’s problems. This next election should put Century on the right track, and we will begin to see positive change.
Small town politics stinks. It will ruin a persons name and reputation. In small towns people never forget. Just saying
This might be a good time for candidate Hammonds to address why he thought it was ok for him to get free utilities when he was employed by the town and his mother took the rap for him via ethics complaint when she was mayor.
He would do us all a favor and save himself a bit of embarrament by withdrawing and letting the 2 appointees who stepped up serve.
