Knowledge Is Power

As a co-sponsor of this mayoral debate, NCNW St. Petersburg Metropolitan Section was proud to support an opportunity for residents to hear directly from the candidates seeking to lead our city. Non-partisan Candidate forums like these are essential to ensuring voters have access to the information they need to make informed decisions.

Community members had the opportunity to submit questions, learn about the candidates’ visions for St. Petersburg, and engage in meaningful dialogue to understand each candidate’s reasoning for seeking to be our next mayor.

Thank you to everyone who attended, participated, and demonstrated the importance of civic engagement. Together, we can stay informed, stay involved, and help build a stronger future for St. Petersburg.
