BRYAN COUNTY (WSAV) - There's a chance that voters in our area aren't selecting a candidate printed on the ballot. Instead, they are writing in a name. In Bryan County, Meredith Gibson is challenging Incumbent Commission Chairman Carter Infinger. She's rallied some support on social media. Ned Rinalducci, WSAV Policital Analyst and Chair of Social Sciences at Miami Dade College, said that it rare for write in candidates to win. "On the rare occasion that they do win, though, it is in smaller state, local elections," Rinalducci said. Rinalducci considers Meredith Gibson a "formidable opponent" for the Bryan County commission chairman seat, considering the size of the county. Gibson qualified through the Georgia Secretary of State's Office to be a write in candidate this election. Her reasoning for running is what she said is mishandling of tropical storm Debby and the devastating damage flood waters caused in parts of Richmond Hill. Her supporters are rallying behind her because of her volunteer efforts at the community house. What are the 3 ballot questions all Georgians will see when voting in 2024? "She was there for the entire community without any pay, without any adda boys, without wanting anything in return except to help us. I mean, that is an incredible human being," Grace Ramirez Schiffman said. Schiffman voted for Gibson during early voting, but others aren't sold on the candidate, citing her inexperience with local politics. "[Infinger] knows… he knows what's been done, and he knows the good, the folks to talk to and how to get things done," Allen Cox said. Many of the residents are also concerned about the booming growth in Bryan, and they want to elect someone who will be responsible. Cox casted his vote for Infinger. "This place is exploding. And if somebody doesn't grab the reins and do something to slow it down, I don't know what's going to happen," Cox said. Schiffman said Gibson can learn the job and tackle the growth. "This is something that can be learned," Schiffman said. "She's a professional. She's running a couple of businesses. She is a real estate colleague. These are things that can be learned." Either way, Rinalducci said write in candidates can be a good thing, since they often bring attention to issues that may be ignored by current candidates. "Bryan County is a great example, where Gibson is bringing attention to the fact that she and apparently many other people in Bryan County think that the county commission failed in its response to the storm," Rinalducci said. WSAV has talked with both candidates about the storm response and what they would do in office. Stick with WSAV for election results on Tuesday.
