It's official. Former Channel 4 anchor Deborah Gianoulis is running for the state Senate.
Gianoulis, who in post-TV life has tangled with state Sen. John Thrasher's education policy as the leader of Save Duval Schools, said she looks at Thrasher's predecessor, the late Jim King, as a role model.
"I want to be a listening representative of the people," she said in a brief phone interview Tuesday after confirming her paperwork had been filed with the State Department.
Thrasher has a Republican primary opponent, but would face Gianoulis in the Nov. 2 general election. The ballots become official after the qualifying period is up at the end of the week.
In secret, behind locked gates, our Nation's Oldest City dumped a landfill in a lake (Old City Reservoir), while emitting sewage in our rivers and salt marsh. Organized citizens exposed and defeated pollution, racism and cronyism. We elected a new Mayor. We're transforming our City -- advanced citizenship. Ask questions. Make disclosures. Demand answers. Be involved. Expect democracy. Report and expose corruption. Smile! Help enact a St. Augustine National Park and Seashore. We shall overcome!
