Columbia still decides two commission runoffs: Ford versus Pittman, Dicks versus Phillips
Lake City is the county seat. The live November 3 file has two Columbia-only ovals, both nonpartisan runoffs. The values gap is Columbia County Commission District 2: incumbent Rocky Ford versus Clint Pittman. Jody Dupree lost August 18 (22.87 percent). Pittman 44.22 percent and Ford 32.91 percent advanced on ENR CLM/4020. That pair would be wrong in Suwannee, Baker, or Alachua.
