					<description><![CDATA[One business day after Chad Chronister was officially sworn in as the new Hillsborough County Sheriff, he filed his paperwork to run for (re)-election in November of 2018. Chronister was tapped by Gov. Rick Scott to replace David Gee in August. He was the only applicant for the position. Gee announced in June that he was stepping down after more than 16 years on the job. Gee was just re-elected to a fifth time last November. Chronister joined the Hillsborough Sheriff’s&#8230;]]></description>

The action also takes issue with comments posted on the activist group Organize Florida website as well as those by Tim Heberlein, the political director of the group.

					<description><![CDATA[Supporters of Rick Kriseman knocked on doors and called likely voters on Sunday, less than 48 hours before the primary election in St. Petersburg. &#8220;I think the race has narrowed. It’s become a bit closer than what some of the polls have indicated,&#8221; predicted state Senator Darryl Rouson, who twice gave pep talks to volunteers at the campaign&#8217;s Midtown headquarters on 22nd Street South. The surveys, most of them conducted by St. Pete Polls, have been remarkably consistent in showing former Mayor&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Citizens supporting the removal of a Hillsborough County Confederate monument are seeking legal action against a &#8220;creepy&#8221; dossier containing personal information published by a pro-Confederate group. On Monday night, the Hillsborough County Democratic Party contacted State Attorney Andrew Warren to decide if there was anything illegal about a document issued earlier this month by Save Southern Heritage Florida. The file held personal information on more than 100 people who spoke out on removing the statue, a group that included elected officials.&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Although not universally embraced (most prominently by some conservative Hillsborough Republicans), most observers considered the Cross-Bay Ferry pilot project last winter and spring a success. The ferry was also a positive example of the region coming together on at least one project to deal with the vexing issue of transportation. Championing the plan, St. Petersburg Mayor Rick Kriseman went hat-in-hand to local governments in Hillsborough, Tampa, Pinellas and his own City Council to raise $350,000 in total to get the project&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Days after four of the five Republican members of the Hillsborough County Commission voted to keep a Confederate monument in front of the county courthouse, the controversy isn&#8217;t dissipating. Last Friday afternoon, Hillsborough County Democratic Executive Committee Chair Ione Townsend issued a blistering statement against the Republican commissioners for their vote, calling it &#8220;a continuation of white supremacy and white privilege policies.&#8221; Those remarks are now being rebuked by Kelso Tanner, a Hillsborough GOP political consultant and school board candidate,&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Two days after Hillsborough County Commissioners made national news by voting to keep a Confederate monument in front of its County Courthouse Annex, the Hillsborough Democratic Party says the commissioners who did so &#8220;should be ashamed of themselves.&#8221; Four commissioners, all Republicans, voted to maintain a statue built in 1911 of a Confederate soldier in front of the courthouse. They also approved Crist&#8217;s proposal to add a mural behind the monument, showcasing what Crist called &#8220;love and diversity&#8221; of the&#8230;]]></description>
