Edmund Burke told the electors of Bristol, "Your representative owes you, not his industry only, but his judgment; and he betrays, instead of serving you, if he sacrifices it to your opinion." inion." My mother shared that quote with me when I was ten.
I am nominating my friend, Isaac Henry Dean, [a] former St. Johns County Commission Chair 2016-2024, for the JFK Profile in Courage Award. St. Johns County suffers from one-party Republican rule, in a place that Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. called "the most lawless" in America in 1964, regarded as "one of the last bastions of the Ku Klux Klan," according to former County Commissioner J. Kenneth Bryan. I am nominating Isaac Henry Dean based upon his support for masking in government buildings during the COVID-19 pandemic, his support for a St. Johns County Public Housing Authority, his openness to amend the County's tree protection ordinance, his support for a Gay Pride proclamation and support for reviving the moribund SJC Land Acquisition Management Plan Advisory Committee.
