More than a dozen local elected and former elected leaders in Pinellas County are backing Democratic state Rep. Lindsay Cross as she faces a tough re-election battle in House District 60 against Republican Ed Montanari.
Cross announced a slate of new endorsements ranging from County Commissioners to small-town beach Mayors.
Among the latest endorsers are Pinellas County Commissioners Rene Flowers and Charlie Justice. Flowers touted Cross’ work as an environmental scientist, and the implication of that work on her representation in Tallahassee. Other backers include St. Pete Beach City Commissioner Karen Marriott and former Belleair City Council member Coleen Chaney.
