Oscar Locklin, a 7th generation Santa Rosa County native and great nephew of former late Superintendent of Schools Radford Locklin pre-filed for Santa Rosa County School Board, District 2 on August 24, 2023.
Locklin, who describes himself as a Conservative and life-long Republican, is challenging incumbent Elizabeth Hewey, who is affiliated with the Democratic Party. Fellow Republican Jennifer Tapley of Milton has also pre-filed for the race.
“Santa Rosa County is one of the most conservative Counties in the State of Florida. The people of Santa Rosa County deserve a Board Member who will push the recent years’ DeSantis and Republican education legislative agenda,” said Locklin. “Santa Rosa County should be leading the way in implementing conservative, family values and common sense. We need to hold the line against the outside influences seeking to destroy our society through influence on our children.”

Locklin is a life-long member of Margaret Street church of Christ in Milton and currently Jay church of Christ, where he has served as Bible class teacher, fill-in preacher, and Deacon.
