A local pastor, Meiko Seymour, has written an open letter to the candidates in the St. Petersburg mayoral race, calling for honest leadership and a focus on the city’s future. Seymour notes that the current campaign has been marked by negative attacks and a lack of vision for the city’s growth.
A Call to Action
Seymour urges the candidates to move beyond mudslinging and to present a clear vision for the city’s future. He also calls on the citizens of St. Petersburg to demand more from their leaders and to choose a candidate who is honest and has a clear plan for the city’s growth.
Seymour writes, ‘We want leaders who are honest. Honest about their faults. Honest in their vision. Honest about their mistakes, said out loud, without a lawyer’s hedging.’ He also notes that the city deserves an argument, not a performance, and that the citizens should choose a leader who is worthy of their trust.
The letter is a call to action for both the candidates and the citizens of St. Petersburg. It is a reminder that the city’s future is at stake and that the choice of leader will have a lasting impact on the community.
