Paula Skinner is Marsh Creek’s representative on the St. Johns County Civic Roundtable. She asked the Spoonbill Courier to publicize this interesting civic initiative that offers St. Johns County residents the chance to learn about their local candidates running in November. Many are likely unknown to many of us, but they will be on the ballot. More details below along with a link taking you to the candidates’ responses.

Next month’s speaker, on October 12, is Vicki Oates, SJC Supervisor of Elections and the public is invited to RSVP for a zoom conference. The Spoonbill Courier will publish that invitation when it is released and shared by Paula.

St. Johns County Civic Roundtable   The purpose of the St. Johns County Civic Roundtable is to preserve and improve the quality of life in St. Johns County         Learn More about Local Candidates Running for Offices in the County       The St. Johns County Civic Roundtable asked the candidates running for public office in our County for information about their candidacy. We asked them to fill out a brief questionnaire to help educate our members and interested parties about their candidacy.   Questions Asked:   What are your qualifications for this elected position? If elected, what are your goals for this office and what would you like to achieve in this position? What is your vision for the County? What is your educational background?   To view the answers for each candidate who responded, please click HERE   We applaud these candidates for stepping forward to run for public office. We appreciate how difficult it must be to campaign during a pandemic, and we hope this questionnaire and the responses will help inform and educate voters.   Sincerely,   Jim McLane, President Lisa McGlynn, Vice-Chairman/Treasurer Maureen Long, Secretary   The St. Johns County Civic Roundtable is a network of committed citizens, civic, neighborhood, community and homeowners’ associations who come together for the good of our County.
