Candidate: Chase Anderson "Andy" Romagnano

I was the Democratic nominee for ECUA Dist. 2 in 2022 where I won 5,796 votes and carried Precincts 82 and 104. I was a qualified write-in for Circuit Clerk and Comptroller of Escambia County in 2020's general election. 

I graduated from Spring Hill College with a double major in Political Science and Business Management, and attended law school at Loyola University New Orleans in 2010, had a medical withdrawal following a traffic accident. While at Spring Hill College, I was Mardi Gras King in 2007, and was Senior Class Senator (defacto Class Vice President) for the 2007-08 year for the Spring Hill College Student Government Association (based on the logic of how Jessica Slater was Class President in how that is done). I was part of the McGill-Toolen Class of 2003 (1999-2003 full attedance) and Our Lady of Lourdes class of 1999 (from 1990-1999)

I was initiated as a 4th Degree Knight of Columbus in 2009, previous Chancellor of Council # 3038

My great-grandmother was WKRG television personality Connie Bea Hope, my grandfather, Brooklyn native Joseph M. Romagnano Sr served as National President of the Paralyzed Veterans of America (1978-80) (after a celebrated career with the Mobile Police Department, where he rose to Lieutenant and was head of the Narcotics and Vice Squad and # 2 at the Police Academy from 1971-1973. My mother's third cousin Dr. F. David Mathews was Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare from 1975-1977. 

My father Joseph M. Romagnano Jr was a longtime IBEW electrician, main Local was 505. My maternal aunt's husband Paul Hacker was a long time machinist union's member at Mobile Pulley Works. My confirmation sponsor was a union member. I have inquired of CWA Local 3109 of joining.

I have written romance oriented literature under a pen name, but as it is NSFW, it is not appropriate for a candidate page, but as it will come out in the campaign, I wrote them, but not appropriate for this candidate page. 

I am running for ECUA District 3 in part because of the deliberate attempts to stymie my campaign in 2022 and my message getting out to protect the campaign of Lois Benson, when I was running on a promise that there would be no more fees for ECUA Customers eventually under my plan to use an Retirement Systems of Alabama like funding system of ownership of private businesses, with profits to then cover operation costs. I also wanted to establish an ECUA owned casino at the old Dog Track, which cannot have dog racing since statewide passage of a ban by constitution in 2018. There were also to be temporary shall issue medical marijuana cards issued at the casino, some funds diverted to ECUA, others to a guaranteed housing solution for homeless, far nicer than county proposals. 

The people deserved a vote on that, and they were denied a fair hearing of my platform because the powers that be in Escambia County want the citizens to have less money in their paychecks from having to pay bills, rather than it be financed in a way that lets them spend more of their paychecks how they want. 

I maintain a personal website at https://candersonromagnano.wordpress.com/ which is not paid for out of campaign funds but which is rather my own right to free press and right to free expression as a U.S. Citizen per the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution
