Local residents had an opportunity to meet some of the candidates whose names will appear on the Aug. 30 primary election ballot last week, when Dale and Janet Westling held a free “candidate meet and greet” at their Sawgrass Country Club home.
Among the candidates in attendance were Clerk of Circuit Court Hunter Conrad and St. Johns County Sheriff David Shoar – both of whom are running for re-election – and former Jacksonville Sheriff John Rutherford, who is running for U.S. Congress in the 4th congressional district.
