Non-advancing At-Large candidates wouldn’t change their experiences

With 8 candidates vying for the Gainesville At-Large 1 city commission seat, most candidates were not able to gain enough support to move forward to the run-off.  Realtor Donna Lutz finished fourth, but she is happy with the campaign she ran.

She says the one thing she would like to see change moving in to the run-off is more support from the public.
