Melissa Blazier wins Supervisor of Elections race in Collier after opponent withdraws
A write-in candidate for Supervisor of Elections in Collier County has pulled out of the race.
The candidate, Edward Joseph Gubala, a real estate associate-broker, withdrew from the race on Sept. 4.
As a result, Melissa Blazier, the current supervisor, will keep her job, following her win in the primary election. Her name won't appear on the general election ballot, with Gubala withdrawing just in time, before its printing.
"By him withdrawing, I don't have to run in the general election," Blazier said. "So, my very long, hard-fought battle is over, which is nice."
