ENDORSEMENT: PETE WILLIAMS for STATE ATTORNEY!
It’s time for a change in Leon County and the 2nd Judicial Circuit. We need a new State Attorney. I’m voting for PETE WILLIAMS!!
The current incumbent has been there too long –28 years! The incumbent took nearly $ 500,000 in DROP retirement, then resigned after last being elected, and assumed his office again, thereby collecting a salary and a pension.
Pete is giving the incumbent a run for his money this November 6th. He has been endorsed by both the Police Benevolent Association (PBA) and the Tallahassee Democrat. He has run a strong campaign and offers fresh ideas about what a State Attorney should do to protect the public. If you are looking for a quality candidate that can WIN this election season you should vote for PETE WILLIAMS for STATE ATTORNEY !
