Editor: Let’s stop a moment to examine the anti-incumbent sentiment swirling about our city. It is a mistake to assume that every incumbent is undeserving of re-election.
Nancy Sikes-Kline has a track record, and has delivered beneficial results that everyone can see clearly. She has worked hard to be an informed and responsive commissioner for all areas of St. Augustine. She has voted independently when she saw the need, and has raised hard questions about some tough issues. She has supported all our neighborhoods and broad community well-being. She has been recognized by her peers in the transportation world, and is now in a position to use her TPO chairmanship to tackle some persistent problems with our traffic. Not least, she is the only candidate with a long history of commitment to historic preservation, that fascinating attribute of our city which deserves more than lip service.
It is crystal clear that Nancy Sikes-Kline deserves to be re-elected to the city commission, to continue the work she has done for all of us.
St. Augustine Record
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!

Great points by Janis Williams!
Not all the incumbents should be swept out of office!
Commissioner Nancy Sikes-Kline always does her homework, is prepared at all meetings, and is eager to listen to ALL citizens!
She has done a stellar job as our commissioner.
I hope you will join me in voting for her!
