Fresh off a huge victory in Clearwater’s, former Mayor Frank Hibbard is shifting his weight to a new candidate.
Hibbard has endorsed Chris Scherer in the race for Pinellas County Commission, District 1. Scherer, a Republican, is running for the seat currently held by Democrat Janet Long. Long is not seeking re-election.
Scherer faces Democratic Indian Rocks Beach Mayor Cookie Kennedy as he seeks to flip the seat to GOP control.
“Chris Scherer is a local business owner who understands how the decisions made by our elected leaders have a direct impact on our economy and way of life,” Hibbard said.
