"As of Wednesday, Ivey said, the governor's office had not received any formal applications for the elections job, which will be up for election again in November 2010. However, five people have publicly expressed interest:

Janet Dougherty, a Republican, former board member of the Southwest Florida Water Management District and environmental consultant.

Rosemary Goudreau, an independent and former editorial page editor of The Tampa Tribune.

Craig Latimer, Democrat, Busanky's chief of staff and a former major in the Hillsborough sheriff's office.

Mark Proctor, a Republican business and political consultant and real estate agent.

Mark Cox, Republican, chief of investigations for the Hillsborough County State Attorney's Office."

Goudreau was one of the leading opponents of the deal to take the liability off CSX and put it on the citizens. She and Paula Dockery helped defeat the measure which would have burdened FL citizens with CSX burdens.
