Current Village Trustee and candidate for Mayor of South Jacksonville, Dick Samples filed an “objection to the nomination petition” of the candidacy of his opponent Tyson Manker with the South Jacksonville electoral board.
According to a press release from Manker’s campaign, Samples objection states the “Petition is not stapled or fastened at the top of the petition as instructed”.
