August 13, 2012, 08:32:08 AMI thought we'd gotten rid of this gorging parasite once before! She's changed her party affiliation for the third time,tried to destroy the neighborhood off Bartrum Road and Atlantic with a Wal-Mart deal that the neighbors fought and won,spent money as city councilwoman to decorate cell towers to look like trees because they were ugly, restored a train station in St.Nicholas the city now spend money on to maintain and harbors transients, prostitutes and has had a murder on premises. She's estranged from her family.She's lied on her resumes in the past and is uneducated.She has a high school diploma, and a few certificates.Family members report she's a mean,vicious,greedy slovenly creature. Of course I have to add these are my opinions, so this sue happy harpy can't claw me to death. People are frightened of her because she's such a cruel,despicable,vindictive person.

September 13, 2012, 03:11:52 PMI have known Suzanne Jenkins for over 35 years and she has always been honest, hardworking and accessible. It is really sad that gypsie2009 has no idea what he/she is talking about. I know her family and they are so loving and supportive. I feel very blessed Suzanne is here for Jacksonville. I know campaigns get ugly, but WOW..... Get a life buddy!!!

September 13, 2012, 10:33:36 PMAt a time when we need more leadership with folks having experience leading other elected officials, now is NOT the time to gamble with inexperience. Suzanne Jenkins has this experience, led people in the City and has the credibility to excel at this position.
Nothing personal with Ms. Ashley, but perhaps a position working in the school system would be a better first step, rather than grabbing the brass ring right out of the gate.

October 15, 2012, 11:35:13 PMAshley Smith Juarez has over a decade of experience working in education. Including being a classroom teacher, coach, drop out prevention specialist (in 13 Duval County Public Schools) and she currently leads and education reform foundation. The fact that she has actual professional experience working in education, from teaching to policy reform and leadership, is one of the many things that makes her the right candidate for our school board.
