This is the day Historic City News readers thought they would never see. The day pigs fly. The day Hell freezes over. But, nonetheless, that day is upon us – not because it’s “about time”, but rather because “the time is right”. In the open Anastasia Mosquito Control District 1 race, the Historic City News Editorial Review Board has chosen to recommend Ed Slavin for election to that seat.
Selecting Gary Howell for the Anastasia Mosquito Control District (Seat 5) was the easiest endorsement decision to come before the Historic City News Editorial Review Board this election year. Gary has been a part of this community as long as us. We know what to expect from his contribution as a commissioner.

Judge Kenneth Janesk, of the Seventh Judicial Circuit of Florida, just ruled on a lawsuit brought against Nicole Crosby, “the Anns” handler/campaign manager/marketing advisor. The lawsuit (type in case #CA24-0665), brought by Plaintiff James Higbee, alleges defamation of his character in social media and says that the defamation had a direct impact on his career.

To Historic City News readers:
After much research and contemplation, I conclude that Friday’s “red flag” appearance of fake Republican “endorsements” was intended to be discovered quickly and done solely for the PR hype.
Historic City News readers are concerned, given the current political climate, about the risk of relying on their own “gut feelings” to decide which Republican candidates represent their values. We have learned that all “Republicans” are NOT conservatives, so it has become essential for voters to do more research before selecting which candidate will earn their vote on Election Day.
After careful consideration of the candidate’s qualifications for the office, the Historic City News Editorial Review Board has endorsed Ann Taylor for St Johns County Commission District 5. Volunteer members of our Editorial Review Board did not quickly come to a decision who, or if, to endorse in this race. It was not a unanimous vote. We did unanimously agree, after we worked through the steps, that there are longer range implications if we do not share the outcome of our analysis with our readers.

Dear Historic City News readers:
After speaking at the Board of County Commissioners meeting on July 16th, I kept thinking about how St Johns County has become tainted. This election cycle shows me the essence of how politics operate.
After careful consideration of each candidate’s qualifications for the office, the Historic City News Editorial Review Board has endorsed Tom Rivers for St Johns County Republican Committeeman, a crucial role that plays a significant part in shaping the direction of the state Republican Party.
