“Thomas Jefferson said, ‘we do not have government by the majority. We have government by the majority of people who participate.’ Our current mayor, Lenny Curry, was elected by just 24% of the voters registered in Duval County,” said Lanelle Phillmon, president, LWVJFC. “With the upcoming election on March 21, 2023, we hope all voters will join us for this event so they can cast an informed vote.”
Voters looking for more in-depth information on the candidates are encouraged to visit Vote411.org.
