Two Jacksonville candidates are busy preparing for Tuesday’s runoff election to fill the seat of the late and former councilman Tommy Hazouri.
Republican Nick Howland and Democrat Dr. Tracye Polson are both running for the at-large, group three seat. Both candidates shared plans for how they’d go about cutting down on crime in the city.
Action News Jax caught up with Howland before the election. He said the election is a “referendum on public safety.” Polson is a licensed clinical social worker and a mother. She told Action News Jax she’d combat crime by expanding JSO’s co-responder program, ensuring mental health professionals go along with officers on mental health calls.
“People have really said that they are ready for some new leadership and ready for somebody who listens and really cares about the city. I feel like that’s Tommy Hazouri’s legacy and I want to continue that legacy,” she told Action News Jax.
