I have to say (as a candidate), that was the best forum I have attended yet. I found the people there to be incredibly generous, my table hostess was outstanding and I thought that it was very well organized. It seemed like all involved had a great time. 

Thank you for the invitation and thank you such a fun event.

Thanks to all who helped/volunteered, those who prepared food (great food) and to all of the candidates for coming. I thoroughly enjoyed the event and meeting so many candidates and Tea Partiers. The title "Speed Rating" sure fit the evening!

However, I was disappointed, to say the least, that not a single candidate from District 5 was present (that I am aware of). Jack Daniels, Lori Boyer, Robert "Fritz" VanVolkenburgh and Steve Hyers, you missed a fantastic opportunity to meet the public in a very unusual and unique manner that was certain to secure some votes! Nonetheless, I'm ready for the next event.

I agree. As a candidate I was met with enthusiasm, genuine interest and some really good, thought provoking questions. I enjoyed the experience and really enjoyed the food (particularly the peanut butter brownies).  Hats off to LeAnne and all the others who made it a very worthwhile event.

There was so much positive energy going around last night - you could just feel it throughout the room.  Tom, thank you for noticing.  Everyone who volunteered their time to donate food, help set up, clean, organize, check-in, facilitate and clean-up all worked very hard and all for the love of our City, our State and our country.  Thank you to everyone who worked on this event.  Now!  Let's get ready for the next one.  God Bless Jacksonville, Florida USA!!!
