Candidate: Marc McCullough

Bio: A native of Jacksonville, FL, Marc A. McCullough, Sr. was educated in the public school system (John Love, R.L Brown, Matthew W. Gilbert, Kirby Smith, and Andrew Jackson) and attended Jones College and Florida Community College Jacksonville now known as Florida State College of Jacksonville. In addition to being a longshoreman for 15 years, he is also former owner of Mr. Ice Cream in which he employed and mentored troubled youth. In 2007, a life long resident of the district and with a passion for politics and justice, Mr. McCullough, ran for City Council District #7. Although, withdrawing from the race, he has continued to be a community organizer by developing programs such as A.S.K (Adults Supporting Kids) and P.O.E.T.R.Y (The Power Of Edifying The Real You) we’re he promotes writing instead of fighting. He holds membership in the Greater Beulah Missionary Baptist Church, International Longshoreman Association #1408, The Masonic Society, AFL-CIO and is the current president of the Client Advisory Board, Kennedy Community Center (Springfield). Mr. McCullough comes from a past that he describes as tested, and as any believer of Christ you know that no test no testimony!!!! It is those past life experiences that have provided him with a lesson plan that he will use to teach our youth about the dangers of street life, improve the quality of life for all residents in the district, and restore a sense of pride in our community.
