					<description><![CDATA[Mail ballots are heading out to St. Petersburg voters for the Nov. 7 general election, which will decide the city’s next mayor as well as three seats on the City Council. The Pinellas County Supervisor of Elections said it shipped out more than 250,000 general election ballots to domestic voters Tuesday. The supervisor’s office previously sent about 4,000 ballots to overseas voters, including active-duty military and their families. Mail ballots need to be received at one of the supervisor of&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[How awful are mayoral candidate Rick Baker&#8216;s new television ads? They&#8217;re so awful that the Rick Kriseman campaign is paying to sponsor a post on Facebook that essentially promotes them. Think about that for a moment: Baker&#8217;s opponent is so confident that ads designed to make a positive impression on voters actually end up doing the opposite that Kriseman&#8217;s willing to spend campaign dollars to boost their reach. Baker released two ads last week. Both stress the former mayor&#8217;s accomplishments&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Officials from Hillsborough and Pinellas counties announced this week they are jointly pursuing an effort to recruit Amazon to the region. The country&#8217;s largest retailer is looking to build a second headquarters outside of its current Seattle campus. This has led to an intense bidding war among communities throughout the country. St. Petersburg Mayor Rick Kriseman says he&#8217;s excited about the joint effort. He also says it wouldn&#8217;t be happening if his opponent in this year&#8217;s mayoral election, Rick Baker,&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Meet Rick Baker 2.0. The former mayor has released a new television ad showing a quartet of St. Pete residents gathered around a restaurant table discussing the many attributes which have made the city a great place to live and work. Beach Drive &#8230; the Dali Museum &#8230; dog parks &#8230; trees planted &#8216;everywhere&#8217; &#8230; each are mentioned by a diverse group of burgers before a server asks, &#8220;You know that&#8217;s all because of the mayor, right?&#8221; &#8220;Kriseman?&#8221; asks former St.&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[For the second time since the end of the primary election in the race for St. Pete&#8217;s City Council District 6 seat, Justin Bean is making it a point to let voters know that, while he may be a Republican, he&#8217;s not a Donald Trump Republican. &#8220;I’m really upset with what the president has done, attacking the LGBT community, his denial of climate change, and dividing this nation, and I don’t want to see that happen to our city,&#8221; the 30-year-old&#8230;]]></description>

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>
