Lowry Event Draws Many

 

 

 

March 4, 2010

 

District five commissioner candidate Fred Lowry is reporting that his campaign kickoff fundraiser attracted over 200 people this past Sunday at Wes Crile Park.  Country music artist Scott Brown provided live entertainment for the crowd and Lowry presented details of how he is gong to bring needed change to Deltona.  Lowry expressed a passion to bring Deltona together.

 

Lowry said "It was awesome and people were jazzed!"

 

He said the concerns he heard most from citizens' were regarding taxes and jobs.  Lowry vows to work towards lowering taxes and attracting jobs to Deltona.  He said another re-occurring issue echoed among citizens is the need to take our government back, to make things right in that area.

 

Lowry is quickly becoming the district five forerunner with his impressive campaign staff of 53.

 

Also in the district five commission race are Commissioner Janet Deyette, David McKnight and Rafael Valle.

 

While Lowry and staff celebrate their successful campaign kickoff, district one Commissioner Zenaida Denizac is excitedly gearing up for her campaign kickoff event coming up this weekend.

Candidate's Campaign Hampered by

Stolen Signs, Voided Voter Signatures

 

 

 

March 4, 2010

 

Mayoral candidate Robert Desmond got an early start this election, but his early-bird enthusiasm seems to be working against him and now that proverbial worm can't be had without some extra - and repeated - effort.  Desmond, who launched his mayoral candidacy in August of 2009, recently submitted his nominating petitions for validation.  But much to Desmond's surprise,  City Clerk Joyce Kent rejected over 70 of the nominating signatures, saying they were obtained too early and are not on approved forms.

 

Needed to qualify are at least 150 valid signatures of registered Deltona voters.  Desmond says he worked hard to obtain those nominations from voters and that he used a State-certified form to do so.  He says "To ignore their signed petitions to put my name on the ballot is a direct assault on the democratic process."

 

Kent says that per City Code, the City recognizes only nominating signatures that are on petition forms that were obtained from the City Clerk no earlier than January 6, 2010.  Desmond obtained his petition forms in August 2009, from Volusia Supervisor of Elections Ann McFall's office.

 

Other than a small box to list the nominee's party affiliation and another for the nominator's precinct, the forms are virtually identical, contends Desmond.  He said the forms he used all have the party-affiliation box checked to indicate this is a non-partisan race.  The mayoral election is open to voters of all city districts.

 

McFall's office has validated the signatures, but being that this is a city election, the City Clerk must also validate them.  City Manager and former City Clerk Faith Miller backs Kent on her decision to not honor Desmond's petitions, but is also currently seeking legal counsel on the matter from the interim City Attorney.

 

Compounding the blow, Desmond - who has been diligently filing campaign treasurer's reports since August 2009 - was required to sign for a newer version of the Candidate Qualifying Packet on February 10, and the city is also rejecting the signatures he obtained prior to that day as well.

 

Just in case the city ultimately stands firm in not honoring the contested petitions, Desmond immediately started over again to collect nominating signatures from voters.  Because of a referendum passed last year by the city's voters, in lieu of obtaining nominating signatures candidates may instead pay a qualifying fee of 3% of the annual salary for the office being sought.  For Desmond that equates to $342.

 

The deadline to obtain nominating signatures or pay the qualifying fee is May 24, 2010.

 

Reportedly Commissioner Janet Deyette has also been met with the same invalid-petition predicament in her bid for re-election.  Mayoral candidate David Santiago, and re-election contender Commissioner Zenaida Denizac have both successfully submitted enough valid nominating signatures to get their names on the ballot.

 

Further testing Desmond's perseverance, dozens of his campaign signs are reportedly being stolen from supporters' yards.  Desmond first noticed the signs missing in November, and has even offered a reward for information leading to an arrest.  Desmond met with the city's code enforcement department to see if they had removed any of his signs as code violations, to which they responded no.

 

Also running for mayor are former Mayor John Masiarczyk, former Vice Mayor David Santiago, and newcomer Jacinto Garcia.

Denizac Passes Qualification Hurdle

 

 

February 27, 2010

 

District one candidate Commissioner Zenaida Denizac has received official notice from the Supervisor of Elections that she has met the qualifying requirement of providing at least 100 nominating signatures of registered voters.

 

Denizac, first elected in 2005, is known for her perseverance in making a stand for what she feels is right despite the 4-3 commission majority typically following Mayor Mulder's lead instead.

 

When Mayor Mulder led Commissioners Treusch, Deyette, and Carmolingo into voting without legal advice to use tax dollars to sue their critics, it was Commissioner Denizac who motioned to have her name removed from the list of commissioners who would benefit from the ill-advised and highly controversial vote.  Commissioners Zischkau and McFall-Conte then followed Denizac's lead and requested their names also be removed from the list of beneficiaries of taxpayer-funded lawsuits.

 

Denizac wants to improve public safety in Deltona and vows to work towards lowering taxes.

 

Denizac is looking forward to meeting with citizens at her upcoming campaign kickoff dinner.  The dinner will be hosted Saturday March 6, at the DeLand Holiday Inn located at 350 International Speedway Blvd.  Festivities begin at 6:30 pm.  Tickets are required to attend the the special dinner, and are available for $25 by contacting Commissioner Denizac at zenaidadenizac@yahoo.com .

 

Seating is limited, so it is best to secure your tickets early.

Santiago Set to Qualify as Candidate for Mayor

 

 

February 24, 2010

 

Conquering another milestone of his campaign, Deltona mayoral candidate David Santiago has passed the signature-validation portion of the qualifying process.  Through letters received today from the city clerk and county Supervisor of Elections, Santiago is relieved to learn he has officially met the requirement of obtaining at least 150 valid nominating signatures of registered voters.

 

All that remains for Santiago to qualify as a bona fide mayoral candidate is to take the candidacy oath and sign the qualifying papers.

 

Santiago's opponent Robert Desmond also recently received letters from both the city clerk and supervisor of elections.  The city is contesting the validity of most or all of the nominating signatures obtained thus far by Desmond, saying they were obtained too early.

 

Desmond says he doesn't understand why the city clerk is taking this position on the issue.  He's says he's as legal as can be, that "I have followed all the rules and regulations, even for my signs.  But just in case, Desmond says, he's already begun starting over to obtain his nominating signatures.

 

Stay tuned to Deltona Bona Fide for more news on that as it becomes available.

 

Both candidates are joined in the mayoral race by veteran and former Mayor John Masiarczyk, and newcomer Jacinto Garcia.

 

With the nominating milestone behind him, David Santiago is excited to be moving forward and is humbled by how receptive citizens have been to his candidacy so early in his campaign.  Santiago wants lower taxes and honest government.

Lowry to Hold Campaign Kickoff Rally

 

 

February 24, 2010

 

District five commissioner candidate Fred Lowry is inviting all citizens to his upcoming campaign kickoff rally.  Lowry and his family will be meeting with citizens this Sunday, February 28, at Wes Crile Park Pavilion 1.  Festivities will begin at 3:00 pm and include live music from country music artist Scott Brown.  Children's activities will be available for the kids and snacks will also be provided.

 

Also in the district five commission race are Commissioner Janet Deyette, David McKnight and Rafael Valle.

 

Lowry, pastor of Deltona Lakes Baptist Church, has a B.S. in math education and both a Masters Degree and PhD in New Testament Theology.  Lowry and his wife Vicki have two daughters, one attending Deltona's Pine Ridge High School and the other in Daytona State College.

 

Lowry has served as a high school principal and has pastored for over twenty years.

Denizac Reaffirms Commitment of Integrity

 

 

February 23, 2010

 

Commissioner Zenaida Denizac has announced that she's collected over 140 signatures towards qualifying as a candidate for the district one race.  In her door-to-door travels, Denizac said, she has been welcomed with overwhelming support.

 

Denizac said "People are paying attention to what's going on in our city."

 

Denizac said her constituents have given her a loud and clear message that they are tired of wasteful spending and they want tax relief now.  Denizac says she's listening to her constituents' concerns and she's reaffirming her commitment to serve them with integrity and sensitivity to the current economic hardships they are faced with.

 

Denizac was first elected as commissioner of district one in 2005.  Despite often being in the minority against the customary Mulder-led 4-3 votes, Denizac is known for standing up for doing the right thing.

 

When Mayor Mulder led Commissioners Treusch, Deyette, and Carmolingo into blindly voting, without first seeking legal advice, to use tax dollars to sue their critics, it was Commissioner Denizac who motioned to have her name removed from the list of commissioners who would benefit from the highly controversial vote.  Commissioners Zischkau and McFall-Conte then followed Denizac's lead and requested their names also be removed from the list.

 

Denizac will be holding her campaign kickoff dinner in early March.

Mayoral Race Heats up to Four

 

 

February 19, 2010

 

Jacinto Garcia, 40, registered as a mayoral candidate today, bringing the total number of mayoral candidates to four.  Garcia is new to Deltona's political scene, having never served in a public position or spoken at commission meetings in Deltona, but the man whom Garcia hopes to replace - Mayor Dennis Mulder - was also new to Deltona's political scene when he was elected in 2005.

 

Also running for mayor are former Mayor John Masiarczyk, former Vice Mayor David Santiago, and newcomer Robert Desmond.

 

Several months ago Mayor Mulder reportedly told the West Volusia Beacon that he was going to run for re-election, but as of today he has not yet registered as a candidate.

Race to Unseat District Five's Deyette Intensifies

 

 

February 17, 2010

 

Today Rafael A. Valle added his name to the race for district five commissioner, a seat currently occupied by Commissioner Janet Deyette.  Of candidates seeking to unseat Deyette, Rafael brings the total to three.  Joining Valle and Deyette in the race are David McKnight, Sr. and Dr. Fred Lowry.

 

Former chairman of the city's Planning and Zoning Board, Valle came to the United States 49 years ago from Mexico-by-way-of-Cuba to chase the American Dream.  He has also served as Volusia County building inspector for 13 years and was a local businessman.

 

District five's new 2010 contender Valle is no newcomer to elections, as he ran unsuccessfully for Volusia County Council District five in 2002 and he ran for Deltona's district five commissioner in 2001 but lost to Diane Obremski.  Valle ran for the city's district five seat again in 2005 but was ousted from the race in the primary.  Deyette later won that race after facing off against McKnight.

 

Deyette has been criticized heavily by local gadflies for often being silent while sitting at the dais except to make Mayor Mulder's motions for him (Mulder is prohibited from making motions while chairing the commission meetings).  One of Deyette's first acts as commissioner after being elected in 2005 was to warn Volusia county to "not be too trusting of us... I'm amazed at your trust of Deltona."

 

Deyette has also been the butt of jokes and criticism for her 2009 motion to use tax dollars to sue the critics of Deyette, Mulder, Treusch, and Carmolingo, but more particularly for her statement "At the risk of appearing incompetent, I guess I should have asked what the motion was that I made... because I'm not sure now what I voted on."

Santiago Collects 200 Signatures to Qualify for Mayor Race

 

 

February 11, 2010

 

Candidate for Deltona mayor, David Santiago, announced that he has collected 200 signatures to qualify for his race to be mayor.  In just a few weeks, Santiago's campaign collected more signatures than what is required.  "I am amazed and humbled by the outpouring of support that our campaign has received," said Santiago.

 

Santiago, who kicked off his campaign just a few weeks ago, enjoyed a favorable turn-out at his first rally. Offering what he believes to be the reason his campaign has taken off so quickly, Santiago said, "People are excited about my message of eliminating wasteful spending. They want lower taxes!"

REMATCH!  District Five Selection Pool Grows

 

February 1, 2010

U.S. Army veteran David McKnight, Sr. has filed papers to launch his District Five Commissioner candidacy.  No stranger to the community, McKnight currently serves as President of the Republican Club of South West Volusia, has also spearheaded Deltona's annual Spring Fest as its President, was chairperson of the City's Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee, and is a Cub Scout Leader.

McKnight, 47, hopes that this election can be conducted without mudslinging and negative attacks.  McKnight ran for district five commissioner in 2005 and did so without resorting to dirty campaigning then, but his campaign rival Janet Deyette prevailed in that election.  Deyette, along with newcomer Fred Lowry, are also running for the district five commission seat, making this election a rematch between McKnight and Deyette.

Having more than two candidates in the race means there will be a primary election before voters can make their final decision in November, unless one of the candidates receives more than 50% of the votes in the primary - in which case the race ends there.

McKnight, a proponent of bringing more businesses to Deltona to increase its tax base, feels more businesses in the bedroom community will lessen the growing tax burden on residential property owners.  He also feels that Deltona should not expand its boundaries through annexations, voluntary or otherwise.

A graduate of Kent State University, McKnight and his wife Natasha are blessed with two children.

Lowry has served as a high school principal and has pastored for over twenty years.

ELECTION POOL DOUBLES IN JANUARY

 

BREAKING NEWS:  Commissioner Zenaida Denizac

Announces Candidacy for Re-election

 

 

 

January 20, 2010

 

...And then there were sixCommissioner Zenaida Denizac filed candidacy papers yesterday afternoon with the City Clerk for her district one re-election campaign.  Denizac vows to work towards lowering taxes and improving public safety.  Over the last several years, the tax burden on Deltonans has increased significantly and law enforcement street patrols have been decreased by the Mulder-led commission majority. 

 

Denizac wants to correct that.

 

Earlier this month political newcomer Michael Richards entered the district one race, but has been quiet so far.

 

Less than two weeks ago, former Vice Mayor David Santiago entered the mayoral race, and is getting his campaign in high gear this Saturday at the Veteran's Memorial Park, with his Campaign Kickoff.

2010 ELECTION GETTING INTO GEAR EARLY; SANTIAGO IS IN!

 

 

January 19, 2010

 

With ten months to go until voters select its future leaders, Deltona already has an electricity in the air that is 100% election.  In what is supposed to be a non-partisan race, rumors are already circulating of unlikely bedfellows conspiring across party lines with sitting officials to derail the re-election campaigns of incumbents so that they may easily assume the public office, campaign signs have gone missing (suspected stolen), and misinformation is already being broadcast from a local blog, confusing voters as to who is actually running for election.

 

 

 

PUBLIC OFFICES UP FOR ELECTION

 

Up for grabs is the office of Mayor of Deltona, currently occupied by Dennis Mulder, who - after being elected - calls the public office of Mayor "some pathetic office."  The mayor's office was originally scheduled to be up for election in 2009, but Mulder - along with Commissioners Deyette, Carmolingo and McFall-Conte, voted to extend their terms by one year. Commissioners Zischkau, Denizac, and Treusch opted to allow the voters to decide whether or not they extend their terms in office.

 

Making for an unusually odd election, also on the block for voters are the commission seats for district one, three and five.

 

Commissioner Deyette is registered as a candidate for re-election of her district five, but Commissioner Denizac has not yet made public her candidacy intentions for district one.

 

Vice Mayor Michele McFall-Conte, first elected in 2001, is termed out.  Her position as commissioner of district three is the only open public office that currently has no candidates competing for it.

 

Mayor Mulder, actively recruiting commissioner candidates from his pool of MySpace friends, said "there is a commission seat open to anyone with a pulse, to replace a moron!"  He encouraged online friend Adriana "you'd do awesome."

 

 

 

MISINFORMATION DISPELLED:  BOGUS CANDIDATE ANNOUNCEMENTS

 

Currently, only five hopefuls are registered candidates; mayoral candidates John Masiarczyk, Robert Desmond, and David Santiago, and commissioner candidates Janet Deyette and Michael Richards.  But if you believe what you read at Michael Kiepert's blog swvolusia.com, four others are also candidates:  Michael Kiepert and Mayor Dennis Mulder (both reportedly running for mayor), and Zenaida Denizac and David McKnight (both reportedly running for commissioner seats).

 

However, after Kiepert's blog was exposed at deltonachat.com for its errant reporting, the bogus candidacy announcements were quickly removed from its pages.

 

Making Kiepert's prematurely announced mayoral candidacy even more bizarre is his public proclamation during the previous commission election: "I have decided to support and vote for Dr. Miller for no other reason that[sic] he is not associated with Jamie [Jessup] or the Mayor [Mulder] and I would encourage everyone else to seriously consider that logic as well. All I want is seven (7) independent people with no ties to development, the Mayor [Mulder] or any special interest groups which would include political activist group or political activist individuals."

 

As the organizer for Mulder's private advisory meetings, Michael Kiepert has strong ties to Mayor Mulder, and similarly contrasting his own proclamation, Kiepert is one of three members of political activist group Deltona Facts.

 

 

 

BONA FIDE CANDIDATES

 

District one commissioner candidate and political newcomer Michael Richards has been quiet since registering his candidacy.

 

Commissioner Janet Deyette also seems to be running a quiet campaign so far, in her quest for re-election as district five commissioner.  Deyette, who launched her candidacy in early 2009, is reporting zero dollars in total contributions to date, despite having received $500 from Enterprise's Sandy Walters and despite being an accountant.

 

Having served two terms, Mayoral candidate John Masiarczyk was Deltona's first mayor and is to be credited for his role in seeing Deltona through its uphill incorporation battle to be Volusia's largest city, so it could govern itself.  Masiarczyk's we-mean-business leadership style is reputed to be the reason why Deltona was sometimes referred to as Volusia's 800 lb. Gorilla, up until 2006.

 

Mayoral Candidate Robert Desmond is a fresh face to Deltona politics, but has been effectively busy nonetheless.  Saying he wants to create jobs in Deltona, Desmond began campaigning early, and it shows.  Despite the alleged theft of some of Desmond's campaign signs, it's difficult to drive through any part of Deltona without seeing a handful of desmondformayor.com signs in yards.

 

The latest to announce his candidacy, Mayoral Candidate David Santiago served as Vice Mayor of Deltona and also as its district two commissioner.  Santiago, a proponent of lower taxes and less spending, is looking forward to meeting citizens this Saturday at the Veteran's Memorial Park, during his Campaign Kickoff.

MAYORAL CANDIDATE'S CAMPAIGN SIGNS DISAPPEAR;

REWARD OFFERED FOR TIPS LEADING TO ARREST

 

 

November 9, 2009, updated November 10

 

DeltonaBonaFide.com received this press release from Deltona Mayoral candidate Robert Desmond:

 

 

As many of you know, my campaign is in full swing. We already have a lot of activity going on and the support for my candidacy for Mayor of the city of Deltona is amazing and getting stronger by the day.



As many of you can tell by now, I am a man of action. I am not waiting for the campaign to come to me, I am bringing my campaign to the people of Deltona.



With that said, I have some bad and very disturbing news!



Somebody has already STOLE my political signs! Now, who would have a motive to do such a thing?



My campaign is based solely on the issues I believe that are facing the people of Deltona.



I have not made a personal attack on anyone - and I will not make any personal attach on anyone - that is currently a candidate for the Mayor's office, or may become a candidate for the Mayor's office or the incumbent Mayor.



My organization and I are working hard to get my message out to the people of Deltona. I have organized public events for the near future, I am going to be in the Deltona Day Parade and my crew and I have already been out on the streets (Saxon & I4) and (Howland & I4) waving our signs so people know I am running for mayor.



Needless to say, someone does not like the progress that I am making!
Needless to say, someone must be worried that my message is getting to the voters!
Needless to say, someone is already playing dirty politics! Well, this is the exact reason I am a candidate for Mayor of Deltona - to cleanup this childish behavior and put a real man in the Mayor's office in this city.



To that end, I will be filing a police report with the Volusia County Sheriff's Office and I will prosecute to the full extent of the law when the criminal is arrested.



If anyone has any information leading to the arrest and prosecution of this (these) criminals I will give them a $25.00 reward. At this time this is all my campaign can afford - and of course I now need to replace the signs that were stolen!

 

 

The location of the signs were as follows:

  • 1 Sign was on Saxon Boulevard just before you get to Finland on the right hand side of the street as you are leaving Deltona heading toward I4.

  • 1 Sign was on Saxon Boulevard just before you get to Normandy on the right hand side of the street as you are entering Deltona coming off I4.

  • 1 Sign was on the corner of New Mark and Humphrey

  • 1 Sign was on Humphrey as you turned the corner onto Humphrey from New Mark.

  • The sign is BLUE with White Letters that say "Desmond For Mayor.Com"

The signs on Saxon were stolen between late Saturday night 11/08/2009 and early Sunday 11/09/2009.


The signs on Humphrey and New Mark were stolen late Friday night 11/07/2009 and early Saturday morning 11/08/2009.



The person(s) who stole these signs knew exactly where they were placed. And, these are low pedestrian walking sites so its very unlikely somebody picked them up to take them home for a souvenir.



I also have a challenge to all candidates for Mayor - Lets Discuss, Lets Debate, Lets put our message out to the people of Deltona and let them choose who the next Mayor of Deltona should be and Lets STOP the pettiness that has already polluted this campaign.



Thank you for your continued support in helping me make Deltona a better place to be and a better place to live.


Sincerely,

Robert Desmond
www.DesmondForMayor.com
Candidate, Mayor of Deltona
(386) 860-9457

 

 

 

 

Mr. Desmond contacted City code enforcement and learned that they had not removed any of his signs.

2010 Deltona Mayor's race grows

August 28, 2009

Robert Desmond announced his 2010 candidacy today, offering voters a choice between himself and Deltona's first Mayor John Masiarczyk

Desmond says that Deltona needs better government than what is being delivered now by Mayor Mulder.  He has a detailed plan of action that shows much thought has been put into his decision to run for the office of Mayor.

Citing City Hall mismanagement, misinformation, and misuse of tax dollars, Desmond wants to lead the city away from the "self-inflicted controversies" of the current Mayor.

Not known is whether or not controversial Mayor Mulder will seek re-election.  However, Mulder's private meeting organizer Michael Kiepert has said that he's sure the 2010 election will be waged with "full color glossy postcards" of person(s) who "are due the notoriety," hinting at a nasty and personal election season.
