The Tallahassee City Commission seat held by Scott Maddox became vacant last week after Gov. Rick Scott suspended him from office. Maddox was indicted on 44 federal charges that include bribery, racketeering, and bank fraud.

The commission is now accepting applications for the seat and numerous Rattlers have expressed interest. Two of them include Gallop Franklin, II and Vincent Evans.

Franklin is a visiting assistant professor of pharmacy practice at the Florida A&M University College of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, where he earned his PharmD in 2012. He is also a clinical pharmacist and sterile compounding supervisor for Tallahassee Memorial Hospital. Franklin previously served two terms as the FAMU Student Government Association president. He has formally applied for the City Commission.

Evans is a scheduler for U.S. Rep. Alfred “Al” Lawson. He also held staff positions with the Andrew Gillum for governor campaign, and City Commissioner Curtis Richardson. Evans recently told Florida Politics that he was thinking about submitting an application for the job. He holds a political science degree from FAMU.

Other applicants with FAMU ties include: J. Byron Greene, associate director of the Florida Georgia Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation at FAMU and Bruce W Strouble, a sustainability coordinator at FAMU.
