Had Bruce Childers submitted a completed Form 6 when he tried to qualify to run in the GOP primary for the Supervisor of Elections post, we would be talking about a millionaire couple investing $100,000 to win the race.
By making two $50,000 contributions to his campaign, Childers made the largest campaign loan of any person running for supervisor of elections in Escambia County history—possibly the biggest loan ever made by a candidate in any county race.
Meanwhile, Doug Underhill has organized a pro-Childers protest at 9 a.m. in downtown Pensacola, at the Ernie Lee Magaha Administration Complex.
This email was sent out yesterday:
Citizens will be protesting the voter disenfranchisement efforts of Supervisor of Elections Robert Bender Monday morning at 9 am in front of the Supervisor’s Office on Palafox, and we are asking you to please come down and hear the case they are making. The continued practice of closing primaries with fake write in candidates (“Ghost Candidates”) has reached a level never seen before, as all District 1 Democrats and NPAs were shut out of the election process by a 24 year old son of a Bergosh supporter who still lives with his parents.
You might find that hard to beat, but last week the appointed Supervisor of Elections disqualified his only opponent! After having previously qualified Bruce Childers, Interim Supervisor of Elections Robert Bender reversed his office’s decision, disqualifying Mr. Childers after the qualifying period had run out!
If you have to cheat to win, you are still a loser. We can’t agree on much in Escambia County, but all honorable people can agree that denying ANYONE their legal vote is always wrong. I pray that the media will attend and report on the citizen action on Monday.
Very Respectfully,
Doug Underhill
FYI: Write-in candidates have been a Republican tradition across the state, especially in Santa Rosa County where there are eight write-in candidates.

Wait a second here,.. is that the Douglas Underhill who from the dais called the surviving children protesters from the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School mass murder “Miscreants” and then when a few of the survivors and some locals marched on the opening of his campaign headquarters he cowered inside and sent Larry Downs Jr. to the front lawn as his Silver Shirt League designated bodyguard.
I suppose he just needs a gang to feel comfortable in so he can throw stones like those hateful antisemite children terrorizing the Jewish community.
No wonder Douglas would call citizens at Board of County Commissioner PUBLIC FORUM meetings “Anti-Fa” as if being anti-fascist is not the most American thing since baseball and apple pie but then again Apple Pie and Baseball are both high density TEAM sports and Douglas is the Liar who would speak as if he had interviewed a panel of whistleblowers when the truth was that his “asking the hard questions” was just playing a part in the Edler money grab..
Imagine if you will another dimension where a military man’s word and deed were truthful, true and there was no “Scrivener’s Error” take backs… now stick to reality where a man will use his contractors license and let others use that too and when called out he just blames an error and gets a good’ole boy waiver but sat in judgment on citizens who have lapsed on mowing the lawn and taking out his worst aggression’s on small women or dark skinned people at the podium.
These are his “friends” who need a special favor and it makes one begin to really wonder just how many special favors he gave to bank another pension on the public dime.
I was not a ghost candidate, Mr. Underhill, in 2020, and in fact I built on that, and won 5,796 votes in District 2 for ECUA in 2022. I certainly am not a ghost candidate now. Which did you prefer watching Doug, The Connie Bea and Estelle Show, or the Dot Moore Show?
The question from 2020, concerning the qualified write in candidacy of Chase Anderson Romagnano is, did Pam Childers have the minimum valid signatures to qualify.
I would point out that in a number of precincts, I won more votes than Ray Guillory in 2022 even as I thought votes were held out from me, a large number of votes Benson won that did not go to Fetsko seemed to be in Precinct 67. With proper coverage there is no question I would have beaten Benson in the two person head to head count, having said that, there is a question of her fee, because of her reports, did she pay it or no?
