					<description><![CDATA[When polls close at 7 p.m. in St. Petersburg&#8217;s mayoral primary, the question is not who received the most votes, but whether former mayor Rick Baker reached the fifty percent-plus-one vote threshold to win the race outright. From the day Baker officially entered the race, he has been an aggressive challenger. On the steps of City Hall, Baker gave a fiery speech about the failures of the Rick Kriseman administration, accusing the current mayor of dividing the city. The mayor and his allies say he&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Mayoral candidate Rick Baker is using the recent closure of the 40th Avenue bridge into a campaign issue in his quest to knock incumbent St. Petersburg Mayor  Rick Kriseman out of office. The bridge, which connects Northeast Park and Shore Acres, was shut down Friday for emergency repairs after inspectors found last week that support strands on the bridge were rapidly deteriorating. City officials expect the repairs to take two weeks, which Baker said was another sign of mismanagement from&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Before it&#8217;s all said and done, Rick Baker may open up about being a Republican. But, at this stage of the campaign for St. Petersburg mayor, Baker continues to avoid partisan politics.  The once (and possibly future) mayor is blasting incumbent Rick Kriseman for playing the partisanship card far too much during his tenure as mayor. He said he refuses to be drawn into the subject while appearing at Cafe Con Tampa Friday at the Oxford Exchange. The first and&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[There have been some intense, sharp-edged encounters between Rick Kriseman and Rick Baker as the two men compete this summer to become mayor of St. Petersburg for the next four years. Wednesday night&#8217;s encounter at the Museum of Fine Arts wasn&#8217;t one of them. Instead, the current and former leader of the city talked before an invitation-only crowd about their love of St. Pete, and how they will work on maintaining the city&#8217;s high quality of life — especially in the&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[In their first televised debate, former St. Petersburg Mayor Rick Baker put incumbent Mayor Rick Kriseman on the defensive over his handling of the city&#8217;s sewage crisis and construction of a new Pier. Kriseman returned fire, attacking Baker&#8217;s conservative ideology and previous interactions with the LGBTQ community. The one-hour confrontation was the second debate exclusively between the race’s two top polling candidates, with the four other contenders excluded by sponsors Bay News 9 and the Tampa Bay Times. More controversially,&#8230;]]></description>
