Ken Welch crosses $1 million raised since launching mayoral campaign

by The 100 Companies

St. Petersburg mayoral candidate Ken Welch has crossed the million-dollar mark since announcing his candidacy. Between his campaign and affiliated political committee Welch has raised $1,018,939.

Welch’s opponent, Robert Blackmon, has collected $533,370 between his campaign and committee.

Both candidates collected $23,000 in the latest campaign finance reports, which covers the week of Oct. 9 through Oct. 15, reflecting the candidates’ fundraising and spending two weeks before the election. For Blackmon, that includes a $5,000 loan to his campaign account.

The two will go head to head in less than a week in hopes of replacing Mayor Rick Kriseman.
