This morning, the Rick Kriseman for Mayor campaign issued a second release of public officials who are endorsing him in his attempt to dethrone Bill Foster later this year. But unlike the first one, two Republicans are on the list.
Those would be Pinellas County Commissioner Susan Latvala and former Lakeland area state legislator Paula Dockery.
"Rick Kriseman and I have a long history of putting partisanship aside and working together to solve problems that affect the people we represented," said Dockery. "I'm confident that his common sense approach, his moral compass, and his work ethic have prepared Rick well to serve as a strong mayor for St. Petersburg."
