Election Day Endorsements!
Reminder, as you go out to vote today, your local firefighters endorse the following:
Chip Simmons, Sheriff
Michelle Salzman, Florida Representative
Jonathan Owens, County Commissioner
We trust that these elected leaders will bring a safer community to all of the citizens of Escambia County!
Big day in Escambia County Fire Rescue!
Today, the citizens we serve have the opportunity to vote for progress. To vote for right. To vote for support. The dismal representation from the current commissioner has to be replaced and addressed. We implore you to get out, vote, and show the incumbent that neglect of Public Safety will NOT be tolerated.
On the ballot today, please vote Owens. Vote for his plan, his ideas, and his support of us. Vote for the only candidate willing to take on the corruption of the office and move forward with the basic requirement of elected officials- Safety.
I got my vote in this morning!
Who is the incumbent?
Why did the local professional firefighters that serve you choose not to back the incumbent? Because he chooses to NOT support Public Safety. He fought the increase request for the Escambia County Sheriff's Office, and in return services were taken away.
It is his method. It is his way of lying to the citizens that he is concerned for their safety.
And yet again, he has done it to the Fire Department. His bragging of not increasing the fire rescue budget shows his lack of concern for a proven shortage. And just like them, our service is lacking. There are Paramedic stations that are not ALS everyday. There are 3 man companies that have been 4 in the past. A fire station closed, and yet he does NOTHING about it.
It is time to replace him and his lack of care. Vote him out, make a stand. Enough is enough.
Listen to Sheriff Morgan describe how he had to fight for what is right- to serve and protect.
Video in the comments.
Time for change. Time for forward progress. Time for trust.
We need your vote to help us help you. We serve with the burden of doing more with less, but tomorrow, you can make a change. We need all registered voters to mark Jonathan Owen's as the District 1 Commissioner to help lead the change. He has proven his leadership, established a plan of action, and represents ALL of District 1- not just special interest groups and campaign contributors.
