‘I like Mike!’: Robert Blackmon, Kathleen Ford back Mike Harting for St. Pete City Council

by The 100 Companies

Former St. Petersburg City Council members Robert Blackmon and Kathleen Ford are endorsing Mike Harting for St. Pete City Council in District 3.

Harting is one of five candidates running for the seat being vacated by Ed Montanari, who is leaving office due to term limits. Montanari is right now the only registered Republican serving on the Council, though the seats are statutorily nonpartisan. Harting is registered without party affiliation, but Blackmon is a Republican, offering Harting some conservative bona fides.

Ford said Harting “understands the challenges facing families and businesses” because he “guided his through these recent tough economic times.”
