Daily Outtakes: Residency question

   January 31, 2024

One of the potential candidates to complete the term of District 4 County Commission Robert Bender may have a residency problem. Walker Wilson, who ran for the District 3 school board seat in 2018, doesn’t currently live in District 4.

However, according to a Florida Attorney General‘s Opinion, he doesn’t have it during the pre-filing period.

Art. VIII, s. 1(e), State Const., requires residence in the appropriate county commission district as of the day of the election. Accordingly, in order to be sure of complying with this constitutional provision, a candidate should establish his residence in the district he seeks to represent by no later than the day before the election.

Walker Wilson will be my guest on WCOA’s “Real News with Rick Outzen” at 7:20 a.m.
