JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – A former state lawmaker, a former school board member and a banking executive number among the 23 individuals who want to fill the vacancies created by the suspension of two Jacksonville City Council members.
The search for replacements began on Saturday , a day after Gov. Rick Scott suspended City Council members Katrina Brown and Reggie Brown in response to a 38-count federal indictment charging both with money laundering and fraud linked to a doomed barbecue sauce plant.
Scott has the power to appoint replacements to serve in their stead. The replacement council members would likely remain in office until their terms expire in July 2019, or the federal case against the Browns runs its course, whichever comes first.
So far, 23 people have applied to fill the vacancies. Below is a list of those applicants:
Darrin Williams
Terrance Brisbane
Brenda Priestly Jackson
Ju'Coby Pittman
Tameka Holly
Celestine Mills
Terry Fields
Angela Nixon
Christopher Pendleton
Jean Tranquille
Randolph Hall
Charles Barr
James Greiner
Keshan Chambliss
Rahman Johnson
Clarence James
Dwight Brisbane
Niki Brunson
Ralph Chavers
Cornelius Cox
Theresa Graham
King Holzendorf
