09/29/2005: "Republicans Unexpectedly Have A Candidate"

As a result of what has been described as a large email solicitation by San Juan islander Minnie Knych for a write-in campaign, Lulu Johnson has won a place on the November ballot as a Republican candidate for the District three County Commissioner race. Lulu received 54 votes, which, based on formula of 1% of the votes cast in the last Commissioner race, qualifies her to be on the ballot.

John Evans, Former County Commissioner, and current Chair of the SJC Republican Party, said that the Party did not take part in the emailing, and at this time has no position on this unexpected turn of events, but that the Executive Committee of the Republican Central Committee will take up the subject at their regularly scheduled meeting that will be held next week.
