Jacksonville's mayor seems to think it is very important that if someone in one office wants to run for another office, he or she should have to resign from their current position. But why, really?
Does Jacksonville Mayor Lenny Curry believe that, as a matter of good governance, Ron DeSantis should be required to resign as governor before running for president?
: “While there are many good people have served their entire careers in elected office, I just think ‘resign to run’ is the right thing to do.” While Curry has implored local citizens to voice their opinion on resign-to-run in Jacksonville — even posting a poll on Twitter — he has declined to say much of anything about the state debate. And this is not someone who shies away from weighing in on topics that go far beyond our city limits and local government.
A straw poll in March isn’t going to change who is running to be the next mayor, or what position they’re in now. But here’s one thing Curry has openly said he looks forward to his proposal doing: putting City Council members in a position of saying whether they’re for it or against it.
