While Realtor Brandi Gabbard had a bigger month of fundraising, rival Barclay Harless continues to lead overall in their one-on-one race for St. Petersburg City Council District 2.

Gabbard raised $6,626 in April, more than three times the $1,855 that Harless brought in last month.

However, Harless, a banker, took in $31,655 so far. Gabbard’s total is $22,660.

Gabbard is a Realtor with Smith & Associates; nearly half the 44 individual contributions she received in April were from those listing realtors as a profession.

The two are running this year for the seat now held by term-limited Jim Kennedy.

District 2 encompasses most of St. Petersburg’s northeastern neighborhoods in the city into the Gateway area.
