The races for Tallahassee mayor and three Leon County Commission seats are still wide open after the primary election. For those candidates who are no longer in the running, the question may be whether to run again.

Leon county commissioner Bill Proctor isn’t leaving his seat. He handily won his re-election bid Tuesday night with more than 58% of the vote in the primary.

Tuesday, Aug. 23 is primary day in Leon County, and no one knows what’s going to happen. The majority on the Tallahassee City Commission is up for grabs—certainly in November—and maybe even Tuesday night. And the political brokers working behind the scenes (and the candidates) are hoping to emerge victorious.
