					<description><![CDATA[Tampa City Councilwoman Yolie Capin will not run for the Hillsborough County District 1 seat in 2018.

					<description><![CDATA[First-time candidate Aakash Patel has already proved one thing during his bid to win a seat on the Hillsborough County Commission: he knows how to raise money The 33-year-old Republican raised more than $41,000 for his campaign in August, bringing his total to $156,201. Add another $23,800 from his political committee, Elevate Tampa, and Patel has raised more than $180,000.  By contrast, neither of the two Democrats running for the seat &#8211; Tampa City Councilwoman Yolie Capin and House Democratic Leader&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Much has been said about how the intensity of emotions regarding Hurricane Irma brought with it a spirit of togetherness among Floridians who got through the storm, but can that spirit pervade the state Legislature? There&#8217;s certainly a sense of bipartisanship after House Speaker Richard Corcoran announced that he was forming the Select Committee on Hurricane Response and Preparedness. “It is my sincere hope that the Select Committee on Hurricane Response and Preparedness will be a good-faith, bipartisan effort at&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Tampa entrepreneur Aakash Patel is touting the endorsement of another prominent Florida Republican backing his bid for the District 1 seat on the Hillsborough County Commission. This time It&#8217;s Joe Gruters, the Sarasota-region state Representative who also serves as the vice chairman of the Florida Republican Party. Gruters was Donald Trump&#8217;s campaign co-chairman in Florida in 2016. “I’ve known Aakash for a long time,&#8221; Gruters said in a statement issued by the Patel campaign. &#8220;Aakash is a staunch advocate for our children&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Joining what is expected to be a bruising Democratic primary, state Representative Janet Cruz has filed to run for for the District 1 seat on the Hillsborough County Commission. Cruz, who is term limited out in 2018, had said months ago that she would be running for the seat, so it&#8217;s not much of a surprise that she entered the race. But that does not take away from the interest level in her decision because she is running against Tampa City Councilwoman&#8230;]]></description>
