					<description><![CDATA[Two weeks before Election Day in St. Petersburg, mayoral candidate Jesse Nevel and District 6 City Council candidate Eritha &#8220;Akile&#8221; Cainion are on the air with their first television ad. The 30-second ad featuring both Uhuru-backed candidates is scheduled to run on Bay News 9, BET and &#8220;numerous other channels&#8221; according to the Nevel campaign. Nevel is a 27-year-old community activist from Miami who has been critical of both Rick Kriseman and Rick Baker in his bidt to become the&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The most recent St. Pete Polls survey had Jesse Nevel in last place in the race for St. Petersburg mayor, however the Uhuru-affiliated candidate says that he&#8217;s actually getting the support of &#8220;many Democrats&#8221; who he claims are abandoning the Rick Kriseman campaign. &#8220;As the Uhuru candidate, I really appreciate the support of many Democrats who are leaving the Democratic campaign to &#8230; support our campaign,&#8221; Nevel said on WMNF 88.5 FM&#8217;s MidPoint program Thursday.

					<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>

					<description><![CDATA[What distinguished the fourth forum for candidates in the race for St. Petersburg Mayor was the first appearance of Paul Congemi. In that one-hour City Hall debate, hosted Tuesday evening by the League of Women Voters, the perennial gadfly managed to insult nearly every other candidate on the ballot, as well as their supporters. The room itself was the smallest venue to date for what has, in the course of the past month, become the most entertaining drama in town. Nevertheless,&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The decision to change the format of an upcoming mayoral debate has led to the departure of one of the original sponsors of the event. St. Petersburg College is no longer co-sponsoring the debate set for July 25th at the Palladium in downtown St. Petersburg. Tickets to the debate were originally planned to be distributed on a first-come, first-serve basis to members of the public. However, after a series of disruptions during a candidate forum at the St. Petersburg Hilton&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[More than 24 hours after tickets for an upcoming mayoral debate were to be distributed to the public, sponsors of the event say are still unsure about how they plan to fill the seats at the one-hour forum. The debate is scheduled for July 25 at the Palladium in downtown St. Petersburg. It will air live on Bay News 9, making it possibly the most important night so far of the campaign. &#8220;We&#8217;re discussing our plans with our partners to&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Although three debates have been held between St. Petersburg mayoral candidates (but only one with all seven candidates on the ballot), arguably the biggest one will take place Monday, July 25, at the Palladium Theater. That&#8217;s because the forum, which starts at 7 p.m., will be broadcast throughout the city (and all the Tampa Bay area) by Bay News 9, moderated by the station&#8217;s Holly Gregory and Tampa Bay Times political editor Adam Smith.
