Florence Now Has No Predominately Black District

 

For the first time since the inception of a council form of government, the City of Florence has no predominately African-American district. How will this affect the August 2025 election?

Kaytrina Simmons has indicated she will run for re-election. Who will run against her? So far no one has announced their candidacy in District 1, but it's still seven months until Florence heads to the polls. 

It will definitely be interesting...if not contentious.

In case you haven't heard, the old Florence parking deck, like General Franco of decades ago, still lives. It's either ready to do battle for the next century or falling to the ground all by itself, depending on whom one believes. 

Meanwhile, at the new deck, we understand it's not overflowing with vehicles. Will it ever pay for itself? Surely you know the answer to that.
