By the way everyone, I suggested in March that Shirley Gibson should run for Barbara Jordan's seat:

"I have been trying to think of someone who could win against Commissioner Barbara Jordan and today Mayor Shirley Gibson came to mind for County Commission District 1.

This coincidence is 'God working' folks."
