Early voting starts Monday in Duval County and the general election is May 17. As a reader service, the Daily Record invited mayoral candidates Alvin Brown, a Democrat, and Mike Hogan, a Republican, to consider the condition of seven important issues in Jacksonville and to rate those conditions. Brown and Hogan were asked to rate those conditions on a scale of 1-4, with 1 being weak and 4 being strong. They were invited to provide any comment they thought necessary to explain their ratings.
