Darden Rice announces candidacy for mayor of St. Petersburg

After more than a year of speculation, St. Petersburg city council member Darden Rice officially filed to run for mayor Tuesday.

“I’ve had people asking me to run for quite a while,” Rice, a longtime St. Pete resident who has represented District 4 on city council since 2013, told the Catalyst. “I love this city, I’m passionate about St. Pete and I want us to thrive. That's why I'm running.”

Dr. Martin Tadlock, who has served regional chancellor at the University of South Florida's St. Petersburg campus since 2018, will step down from his role Dec. 31, 2021 to focus on teaching and research as a tenured professor in the College of Education.
