Kim O'Conner got 64% of the vote to defeat the incumbent for a seat on the Ochlockonee River Soil & Water Conservation District. With 56,244 to 31,043 votes, O'Conner beat Preston Robertson who is the North Florida/South Georgia representative of The Conservation Fund.

"The Green Party has arrived," declared McCrea. They are joined by Lake Worth Commissioner, Nadine Burns (more), making the third of the growing "Green Wave" in Florida. Now voters can see the value of Greens in office.
"Once just a 'green' movement," Dan observed, "the Green Party has evolved into a sophisticated political party with many elected officials and a solid platform."
John Anderson, 1980 independent presidential candidate, joined Fricker, McCrea, and supporters earlier this year to celebrate the first Green official in this county.
