Only two of the county commissioners are up for re-election in this election cycle.

The ballot doesn't identify the incumbents, who are Randy Mask and Dick Hoffman. Hoffman is running from District 1 which includes The Villages. Randy Mask is running from District 5, which represents communities within the county south of The Villages including Wildwood, which will soon be on the southwestern border of The Villages.

Both Randy Mask and his opponent Joseph Capporelli in the election live a few miles south of The Villages.

Mike Francis is the only other county commissioner who resides in The Villages, but he is not running for re-election in this cycle.

One of the candidates running for county commissioner makes an excellent point in a post below. He suggests that voters consider the qualifications and experience of the candidates. With the retention of One Sumter, that's an excellent point. It's a good suggestion for voting in any political race.
