St. Augustine builder Randy Brunson announced late Tuesday that he will run for the soon-to-be-vacant District 5 St. Johns County Commission seat instead of seeking to win District 3, as he had planned.
In the District 5 race, he will face Ken Bryan and Gary McMahon in the Aug. 26 Republican primary.
Brunson said he'd always wanted the District 5 seat but didn't want to oppose incumbent Commissioner Jim Bryant.
However, Bryant, a 12-year veteran of the County Commission, announced last week that he won't run for a fourth term, citing family issues.
Brunson, a Jacksonville native and former highway patrol officer, said he plans to represent all of St. Johns County, not just District 5.
He lives in District 2 now, but understands that, if he wins, he'll "have to move."
His platform includes attracting clean industry to stimulate economic growth, preserving the natural environment and promoting and supporting public safety, among other issues.
"The Board of County Commissioners must always set the highest example of responsibility and respect, as well as civil, diplomatic and professional courtesy," he said.
