“When the chairman of the county commission takes it upon himself to singlehandedly overturn a board action, it calls into question that chairman’s judgment and his ability to lead. Williamson’s unilateral decision left Navarre Beach with no welcome signs at all at the causeway over the Memorial Day holiday, potentially confusing visitors on one of the beach’s biggest weekends all year.”

Williamson is attempting to deceive the voters of Santa Rosa County. He wants you to vote based on the lies he tells against his opponent in a last-ditch postcard campaign.
Williamson accuses Navarre Press of being “Fake News” while never asking for a retraction or clarification. Facts he doesn’t like do not equal fake news.
Falsely and unlawfully printed fake text messages between him and Navarre Press publisher Sandi Kemp to intentionally mislead voters. He has since been served with a notice of a possible defamation suit.
Signs naming Navarre Press as “Fake News” have been posted in an effort to discredit Navarre Press for daring to expose the real Rob Williamson.
