St. Pete mayor’s PAC donations soar following opposition survey

A former state representative’s recent opposition poll has seemingly led to a financial windfall for St. Petersburg Mayor Ken Welch.

His new political action committee, The Pelican PAC, had accrued $92,275 as of the June 30 reporting deadline. Over $56,000 of that amount – 61% – coincided with former friend and Rep. Ben Diamond’s voter opinion poll.
