Hi All,

Not sure if this is the right area of the site, but it is political.

On Thursday, January 17, 2008, I filed as a Candidate for Pinellas County Property Appraiser.

Use this link and click on my name for information.

Supervisor of Elections Site

My first goal is to qualify for the election by obtaining the required number of petition signatures. If you are a registered voter (party affiliation does not matter) in Pinellas County, Florida, and would like to see me qualify, please contact me by phone or email. Use my contact information on the site at the link below.

Thanks!, in advance.

If I were on the right coast I'd vote for you. Best of luck, Frank.

Good luck, Frank. You're too far south for me.

There are over 600,000 registered voters in Pinellas County. About 230,000 each for Republicans and Democrats and around 150,000 independents/others. I appreciate the sentiment, but it's unlikely I could house enough registered voters to make a dent in the totals.

If you have friends, relatives or acquaintances in Pinellas, I appreciate any good words or referrals.

Oh well... I'm from a small town. If you make the wrong person mad, you can lose 50% of the votes. Many of the family trees are telephone poles, no branches at all. Good luck to you though. I don't know anyone in the area, but would give you a referral ifin I did.

Good luck, Frank. (If you win, you'll probably need it.)

Well Frank, scratch my comments. I had a client call me from St A wanting to buy a second home in the mountains, so I am able to tell someone to vote for you. :banana:

Nope, St. Augustine is way too far northeast.....in St. Johns County, I think.

Oh dang, you're right. I had to look at the map to see which Saint is which. :lol:

I think you should stay on the board and straighten them out. As far as I know you are the only voice of reason on there. If you can do that and be the tax man, then good luck. If not, then withdraw your candidacy.
