Jacksonville voters will choose the next county judge in November—and you’re invited to hear directly from the two people asking for your vote. Jacksonville Today Editor Jessica Palombo hosts Melina Buncome and Octavius A. Holliday, Jr., the two the Group 13 candidates who advanced to the November 3 runoff for a seat on the Duval County Court bench.
County court handles cases that touch Jacksonville residents’ everyday lives—landlord-tenant disputes, small claims, misdemeanor crimes, traffic violations, and family matters. The judge who fills this seat, vacated by Judge Mose Floyd’s retirement, will shape how accessible and fair that system feels to thousands of our neighbors every year.
This Jacksonville Today forum is presented in partnership with the Florida Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (FACDL) Northeast Florida Chapter.
