Today in its print edition, the News Journal profiles the Pensacola City Council runoff between incumbent Ann Hill and Allison Patton. The article covers how both candidates are trying to attract third-place finisher Mo Padden’s voters.
The reporter must have turned in his story last Thursday or Friday because Padden announced on Facebook on Sunday that she is endorsing Patton.
“I spent some time with Allison Patton this weekend and we discussed a myriad of issues from homelessness, haphazard development, affordable housing, parking, support of the Veterans’ Park and efforts to place a permanent restroom at that site,” wrote Padden.
“Following our discussions, I have decided to endorse her in her bid for City Council in the Fall general election as I was convinced that her vision for these issues was consistent with mine. I believe she is ready to do the hard work and research necessary to find solutions to the many problems facing our city and that she will listen to all opinions in her quest for solutions.”
