Century Candidates Campaign On A Budget For Tuesday Election
February 27, 2017
It’s been a campaign on a budget for two town council candidates on the ballot Tuesday in Century.
Kevin Stead and Luis Gomez, Jr. are facing off for the Seat 2 on the town council, a non-partisan office.
Stead currently holds the seat on an interim basis, appointed as the temporary replacement for Annie Savage, who passed away in late October. Tuesday’s election will fill the seat until the end of Savage’s term in January 2021.
Stead contributed $150 to his own campaign and received one contribution — $100 from Lewis M. Blanton, Jr., an electrician in Jay. He spent $50.94 on the qualifying fee to run for office, and $140.60 to Ron the Sign Man of Navarre for campaign signs, leaving him a campaign balance of $58.46 of February 23, the lastest reporting deadline.
Gomez contributed $50 to his own campaign and received donations of $10 from Denise Lynett Gomez of Century and $50 from the Baldwin Management Group, Inc. of Gulf Breeze. He spent $49.60 on business card ads to The L House in Brewton, and $50.94 on the qualifying fee to run for office. That gave him a remaining campaign balance of $9.46 as of the February 23, the latest reporting deadline.
Polls will be open 7 a.m. until 7 p.m. Tuesday at the Century Town Hall.
The winner of Tuesday’s race will be sworn in on Friday, March 10.
