The first candidate has prefiled for Escambia County Commission District 5 race in the 2024 election.

James Hilburn of Millet Circle filed his paperwork as a Republican Wednesday morning with the Escambia County Supervisor of Elections.

In 2022, Hilburn prefiled for Pensacola mayor using his Cantonment address and listed his occupation as security guard. He did not finish the process to appear on the ballot.

    SW. If Molino and north of there get to add a new district then why not let Pensacola Beach, Warrington, Ensley,Myrtle Grove, Beulah etc have their own districts? Make 25 districts and then so we can complain about smaller government.

    @SW, the south of the county runs it all? Does that include District 3, the most populous district? And the one with the least amount of power?

    The Escambia County Commission needs to add a 6th district for the area of Molino north, and have an at-large elected Chairman to preside and break tie votes. Until then, the south of the county runs it all.
