Four Candidates Battle for Southwest Seat | Jacksonville News

Four candidates are locked in a fiery Republican primary race for St. Johns County Commission’s southwest seat, with the winner set to take office in August after Sarah Arnold’s scandalous fake voter guide fallout. Each brings a unique background and vision: retired FBI agent Pyszczymuka, a newcomer pushing to halt unchecked growth and backed by top commissioners, sees his outsider status as a strength. Brofford, a Citibank VP with local development experience, champions smart partnerships with developers. McMullan, a native returning from Wall Street, focuses on job creation and affordability. Burres, the longest-tenured candidate, vows to fix crumbling infrastructure. With big self-funded campaigns and fierce debates over growth, housing, and development, this race is shaping up to be one of the most consequential in the county’s history.
