in The Bay and the 'Burg/Top Headlines by

Eric Lynn is running a good campaign for the Pinellas Congressional seat currently held by David Jolly. Lynn was smart and jumped in the race as soon as it became apparent the Pinellas district would no longer be a safe seat for Republicans once districts were redrawn to meet standards under Florida’s Fair Districting Act. The jump-start has allowed Lynn to build up his name recognition throughout the district, boost his standing with moderate Democrats instead of just those who love an…

When Pinellas voters elect a new person to represent them in Congress, a lot could change in St. Pete. Congressional District 13 is currently represented by Republican David Jolly. That district includes most, but not all, of St. Pete. After the 2016 election to replace Jolly, who is running for U.S. Senate, all of St. Pete will be included. That’s because a court ruled that the current districts violate Florida’s Fair Districts law by leaving out the primarily Democratic South…

Charlie Crist‘s long-anticipated announcement that he’ll challenge Lynn in a primary for Congressional District 13 by playing on reminders that Crist wasn’t always a Democrat. “Since day one, I’ve been in this race to sere as a voice for the people of Pinellas County.

Charlie Crist spends post-announcement afternoon chatting with veterans

in The Bay and the 'Burg/Top Headlines by

After officially announcing his bid for Congress, former Gov. Charlie Crist made two more stops to meet with veterans. In what was a throwback to the C.W. Bill Young 42-year reign, Crist promised to serve with a commitment to providing vets with more than what Washington gives them now. “People like Jay who have served in the armed forces literally are willing to risk their lives for our freedom,” Crist said from a new memorial at the War Veterans Memorial…
