Santa Rosa County won Tuesday night along with Dave Piech. However, I’m certain that Santa Rosa County will benefit much more from Dave Piech than Dave Piech will ever benefit from Santa Rosa County. The same could not be said about the incumbent who just lost the election that was his to lose. Williamson out spent Piech two to one and Williamson had his war chest early. Piech’s contributions trickled and more was given at the end. We will have an analysis of the contributions next week when all the accounting has been done.
According to governing.com, there are two types of political candidates; those who want to do something (Dave Piech) and those who want to be something (Rob Williamson).

The men and women whom we elect to represent us, and safeguard the reputation of our county, should always conduct themselves in a way that will not bring disrespect to themselves, the office that they hold or our county. Today Santa Rosa County’s District Four finds itself represented by someone who does not adhere to those values.
When I looked into Rob Williamson’s campaign contributions and expenditures, I found payments totaling $12,090.75 to his wife’s business, Sticky Designs. She started this business between his last campaign and his re-election campaign. I think Mr. and Mrs. Williamson found an opportunity to take campaign contributions and put them into the family’s pocket. Maybe he should explain to the voters what he’s paying his wife for.
