Resident Community News Several candidates will move on to runoff elections in their respective races later this spring following the Duval First Unitary Election on March 21. Daniel Davis (REP) and Donna Deegan (DEM) emerged as the two candidates with the most votes, securing 24.72% (41,505 votes) and 39.43% (66,192) respectively. Because no single candidate secured the majority vote, the two candidates with the most vote (Davis and Deegan) will face each other once again in a mayoral runoff election on May 16. Joining them in their own runoff elections — specific to The Resident’s readership — will be: • Property Appraiser: Jason Fischer (REP, 30.65% — 50,864 votes) and Joyce Morgan (DEM, 47.64% — 79,071 votes) • City Council At-Large Group 5: Charles Garrison (DEM, 25.83% — 42,163 votes) and Chris Miller (REP, 36.79% — 60,052 votes) • City Council District 7: Joseph Hogan (REP, 31.52% — 4,486 votes) and Jimmy Peluso (DEM, 34.72% — 4,942 votes) • City Council District 9: Mike Muldoon (REP, 47.03% — 3,387 votes) and Tyrona Clark-Murray (DEM, 14.75% — 1,062 votes) Candidates in Districts 2, 8, 11 and 14 will move on to May runoff elections as well.
