Jacksonville mayoral candidate Donna Deegan (D) touts bipartisan endorsements

Democratic candidate for Jacksonville Mayor Donna Deegan is rolling out endorsements from two Republicans and one Democrat who previously served on the City Council.

Former Council Presidents Scott Wilson (Republican) and Eric Smith (Democrat) are joined by Suzanne Jenkins, a former Republican member of the Council, in endorsements Deegan says point to “broad support from leaders across the political spectrum.”

“We share a common belief that Jacksonville needs a problem solver, not a power seeker, and that change is needed in City Hall. It’s time to unify and bring an end to the division and fear tactics that are hurting our city,” Deegan said.

“I am also sick and tired of the divisive and negative attack ads by one group in Jacksonville. While I do not always agree with Donna Deegan, I do appreciate and respect her willingness to show up and face the difficult questions,” Wilson said.

“If a candidate won’t answer your questions today, what makes you think they will do so after they assume office? I encourage citizens, especially my fellow Republicans, to carefully evaluate your choices and consider joining me in voting for Donna Deegan.”

In the current political environment there, appealing to independents and moderate Republicans is likely necessary in order to win. This may provide a blueprint for other campaigns around in similar areas.
