| Description | J.R. Markham was courting the elderly ladies in the front row, handing out campaign cards as he seeks to follow his father as Broward County's property appraiser.
''Wonderful people,'' a smiling Marion Klarfeld said, as Markham moved on to work the crowd at a recent Democratic club meeting in Coconut Creek. She held a flier showing the candidate with his mother, brother, and the late William Markham, who died in March after 35 years in office.
``It couldn't be a better background.''
J.R. Markham, 24, has built his campaign on that sentiment, presenting himself as the natural choice to succeed his father, the county's longest-serving politician and among its best-loved at the time of his death.
But veteran County Commissioner Lori Parrish, Markham's chief opponent heading into the Aug. 31 Democratic primary, points to another part of Markham's background: youth and inexperience.
