Two qualify for High Springs election

HIGH SPRINGS – Two residents have qualified to run in the city’s special election set for April 10.  Ann Carter and Scott Jamison both submitted qualifying papers to the City of High Springs before the Feb. 9 deadline.

Carter is retired, but is reportedly also the sole proprietor in the baked goods business.

Jamison is employed by the School Board of Alachua County.

The two candidates are vying for City Commission Seat 5, vacated by Eric May who resigned from the commission on Jan. 31.

The winning candidate will serve the remainder of May’s term, which is set to expire November 2012.

The election is April 10 and the High Springs Civic Center will serve as the polling precinct.
