Three candidates compete for Gainesville City Commission District 2 seat

With Ed Book stepping down after one term as Gainesville City Commission District 2 representative, voters will choose among a housing inspector, a journalist, and a former Marine to fill the seat. Housing affordability and city infrastructure have emerged as central themes in the race, with candidates Nelida Jean-Baptiste Pellot and Nathan Crabbe both emphasizing the need for more workforce housing options.
