					<description><![CDATA[When polls close at 7 p.m. in St. Petersburg&#8217;s mayoral primary, the question is not who received the most votes, but whether former mayor Rick Baker reached the fifty percent-plus-one vote threshold to win the race outright. From the day Baker officially entered the race, he has been an aggressive challenger. On the steps of City Hall, Baker gave a fiery speech about the failures of the Rick Kriseman administration, accusing the current mayor of dividing the city. The mayor and his allies say he&#8230;]]></description>

					<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[Three nights after their latest debate ended in chaos, the candidates running for mayor of St. Petersburg engaged in a restrained affair Thursday night. The most dynamic performer on the stage was Jesse Nevel, the 27-year-old Uhuru firebrand who blasted Mayor Rick Kriseman and former mayor Rick Baker throughout the 83-minute affair, while varying his message beyond a call for reparations for the black community. Of course, he did talk about reparations, beginning in his opening statement when he talked&#8230;]]></description>
