All but 1 Pinellas constitutional officer elected without opposition

Four of five Pinellas County constitutional officers have been elected without opposition after the qualifying deadline came and went without much fanfare.

Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri, Clerk of the Court Ken Burke, Property Appraiser Mike Twitty and Adam Ross, who ran unopposed to replace retiring Tax Collector Charles Thomas, have all been elected.

Supervisor of Elections Julie Marcus will face Chris Gleason in an open Republican Primary.

Burke raised $30,550 and spent just over $3,000, while Gualtieri raised more than $73,000 and spent just over $10,000. Twitty raised more than $85,000 and spent about $17,000 fending off potential challengers.
