St. Pete is worth fighting for!

Stand with Charlie!

I'm ready to serve
as your next Mayor

St. Pete is not just a destination, it’s home. It’s where I learned the value of hard work from my father and to value community from my mother; where I proudly took the field as a Green Devil at St. Pete High and where I first dipped my toe in the pool that is civic duty.

I’ve fought for the City of St. Petersburg in the Legislature, as Education Commissioner, Attorney General, and Governor, and as a United States Representative. Now I’m taking that fight back home, to City Hall, where the city government is failing to address issues that matter most to YOU, my neighbors. Current leadership is missing in action. And in the meantime, housing prices continue to soar, flooding continues to threaten, businesses struggle under the crushing weight of a challenging economy, and the Rays' future remains uncertain.

Together, we can do better. Under my leadership, we’ll put people first; we’ll listen. And rest assured, help is on the way. The time is now to push prices down so we can lift people up. It won’t be easy, but I’ve done the hard work before and I’m prepared to do it again.

St. Pete is worth fighting for. YOU are worth fighting for.

“There is much to be said about political service at this trying time. There is far more to be said about the fruit of that labor. Thanks, Charlie! For standing up… staying the course, and bringing good things home to St. Petersburg. May your continued labor not be in vain, and may your reward be of great benefit to all of St. Petersburg.”

— Michelle Ligon

“We are so fortunate to have a candidate for Mayor, who has deep roots in our community and is a decent and kind public servant, who always shows up no matter the challenge. This is so needed these days in our City. In addition, Charlie has unmatched leadership experience earned through his extensive service to the St. Petersburg community. We have an opportunity to hit a grand slam for our city by electing Charlie as our next Mayor — batter up!”

— Mike Hamby

“He’s fair and he relates to the people of south St Pete.”

— Boss “Tim” Ross

“I support Charlie Crist because he puts people over politics and fights for Florida families, freedom, and unity.”

— Amir Ardebily

“I believe Charlie Crist is the best candidate for mayor because of his experience, is humaneness, his ability to genuinely connect with people of all stations in life l, and it his true concern about Saint Petersburg residents. I have watched him demonstrate, over the years, compassion through positive change for everyone, rather than lip service. Charlie never meets a stranger. He will be a conciliator in a time of divisiveness, and an effective leader in building relationships with businesses, resulting in employment and economic growth that is inclusive of everyone.”

— Bishop Manuel Sykes

“I support Governor Crist because he practices Godly principles, he is personable, and has a reputation for getting things done for the people.”

— Rev. Dr. Basha Jordan

“Charlie has the overall government experience on several significant levels which would foster a more comprehensive approach to governing in the City of St. Petersburg.”

— Secretary Frank Peterman

“No other candidate has his experience of managing governmental issues on both the State and Federal level. We are lucky to have such an experienced man willing to serve as our City’s Mayor.”
