Control of City Hall back on 2024 ballot amid dark money surge, 'ghost candidate' talk

Voters could decide to shift the balance of power on the Tallahassee City Commission, moving from a moderate-leaning, Chamber-friendly majority in place now to a more progressive-minded, anti-developer one.

Or they could opt to set back years-long efforts by a progressive insurgency that has struggled to take control by keeping the status quo in place or even expanding its ranks on the five-person, all-Democratic commission.

Voters also will decide whether to keep the lone elected Republican on the School Board or replace her with a Democratic newcomer in a contest that has seen both political parties bring out their heavy artillery.

Much is at stake in Tuesday’s primary election, in both partisan and nonpartisan contests up and down the ballot.
