Steve Kornell Makes History

Congratulations to Steve Kornell. He become the first openly gay man to be elected to the St. Petersburg City Council. Kornell beat Angela Rouson to win the District 5 seat.

"The thing about making history is fine," he said. "But this campaign was really about the future of St. Petersburg and that's what I plan to focus on for the next four years."

Kevin Beckner's election to the Hillsborough County Commission and Kornell's victory is a refreshing change from the days of Ronda Storms.
