The list includes elected officials from almost every municipality in Pinellas County.

Rep. Jennifer Webb rolled out a massive list of endorsements Wednesday that includes nearly 50 elected officials representing almost all of Pinellas County’s 24 municipalities.

Included in her latest endorsement push is St. Petersburg Mayor Rick Kriseman.

“I am pleased to endorse Jennifer Webb. She’s a smart, engaged representative of the people who has proven to be a commonsense leader in our state legislature. We need more of that these days,” Kriseman said.

Pinellas County Commissioner Charlie Justice also backed Webb.

“Jennifer Webb represents our community’s values. She works hard every day to bring real results and real progress for Pinellas and for Florida,” Justice said.

Webb is seeking reelection to Florida House District 69. She is so far running unopposed, but her 2018 opponent, Republican Ray Blacklidge, has indicated he intends to run, prompting Webb to leave nothing to chance.

Webb also picked up an endorsement from newly elected St. Pete City Council member Deborah Figgs-Sanders.

“I consider it an honor to endorse and support Rep. Jennifer Webb for re-election to Florida House District 69. I’ve admired her accomplishments from afar. But now as an elected official, I look forward to working with Rep. Webb on behalf of our families with fair, progressive, and equitable initiatives to improve the quality of life for our residents,” Figgs-Sanders said.

Also joining the list of endorsers are North Redington Beach Mayor Bill Queen, Treasure Island Mayor Larry Lunn and Pinellas County School Board member Rene Flowers.

“As the voters begin to listen to remarks and reminders about the past and current legislative session, there is one legislator that we not only hear from but can see the fruits of her labor,” Flowers said. “Representative Webb ran on a platform that championed public school education. I am proud to say that she has carried the torch and remains committed.”

      Fluff, That’s all this article is.

      Many of the endorsements come from Democrat elected officials out-Side of the District.

      Jim, who on the list is a Republican?

      What has Ms. Webb accomplished in Tallahassee for the Citizens of our District and the people of Florida.

      What whose values does she represent?

      It’s one thing to talk about what you want to do, it’s another to actually be able do something about what you want to do.

      If I run, it won’t be to be patted on the back by a bunch of my fellow party members but to actually make a difference for every resident of House District 69.

      Thanks for reading my response.

      Sincerely,
      Ray Blacklidge
      Citizen of House District 69
