I'm running to be a St. Johns County Anastasia Mosquito Control Commissioner to protect your health from mosquito-borne diseases.
My dad survived malaria in WWII, bitten by a mosquito in Sicily, where he parachuted in with the 82nd ABN DIVN, 505th P.I.R., F. Co. I saw first-hand how malaria affected my father's health.
The next pandemic could be from mosquito-borne disease. I've helped shape mosquito control policy since 2006 as a gadfly on government waste ($1.8 million no-bid helicopter contract cancelled in 2007 after nine months of scrutiny and bipartisan outrage).
As your St. Johns County Watchdog, Ed Slavin (that would be me), I pledge that I will help support public education about mosquito control. I will preserve and protect scientific integrity and the public fisc. I support natural pesticides and AMCD's policy of greatly reducing use of organophosphate pesticides.
Wonder who bought the anti-Slavin ads on local Fox and MSNBC programs? Some $22,000 in 2020 from dodgy Tallahassee PAC (Mosquitos4Justice).
Who are they, and who inflamed them with hatred?
What do they have to hide?
