St. Petersburg election results: It's Mayor-elect Bill Foster
Posted by David Warner on Tue, Nov 3, 2009 at 7:49 PM
Election Night, 7:45 p.m.: With almost all precincts reporting, Bill Foster is maintaining a 6 percent lead over Kathleen Ford in the race to succeed Rick Baker as mayor of St. Petersburg. In the race for City Council, Steve Kornell, Leslie Curran, Jeff Danner and Karl Nurse look like sure winners; Jim Kennedy's race with Steve Corsetti is a little bit closer but Kennedy's chances look good.
Updates to come.
It's 8:04, and the race for mayor is already over. Kathleen Ford is giving her concession speech. "We are going to continue to keep an eye on our government to make sure it's open, accessible... and affordable," she promised. Later, according to Bay News 9, she said her biggest problem was "the media."
"Read into that what you will," said anchor Al Ruechel.
