St Pete Beach Mayor

Residents of St Pete Beach will have an opportunity to vote for either Mayor Petrila or Scott Tate. We proudly endorse Mayor Petrila.

Proven Leadership for St. Pete Beach

• Delivered real tax relief by lowering the city's millage rate, reducing property taxes for       residents while preserving essential services and fiscal strength.
• Leading hurricane relief efforts, expediting and waiving permit fees, creating employee recovery funds, coordinating volunteer support, and securing major progress on critical beach renourishment through partnerships with county, state, and federal agencies.
• Drove a 26% reduction in crime by partnering with the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office to enhance enforcement and community safety programs.
• Saved taxpayers millions by slashing the projected cost of the Pass-a-Grille Fire Station from $12 million to $5 million, without compromising public safety or emergency readiness.
• Protected our small-town character by voting no to massive development CUP requests, holding developers accountable to the Comprehensive Plan. Most recently he  negotiated  $5 million community benefits with the approved Corey Landings Development.
• Invested in infrastructure and quality of life through upgrades to stormwater, sewers, roadways, and flood mitigation, while supporting families with expanded library programs, playgrounds, school reopenings, and small business spotlights.
• Increased transparency and accessibility with weekly video recaps, open town halls, and direct resident communication, fostering trust and engagement with City Hall.
• Prioritized resident-first governance with higher standards of accountability, eliminating waste which ensures every dollar benefits our community.

Mayor Adrian Petrila has proven he puts St. Pete Beach residents first; delivering results, accountability, and a stronger, more resilient community. He deserves our continued support! Check out his website to get involved and learn more about his plans for St Pete Beach.

District 3 Commissioner

We thank Commissioner Rzwenicki for her service as Commissioner, but are not able to endorse her due to her voting record. She has failed to represent the residents on issues multiple times. As you may recall, she voted for massive expansion with the Sirata CUP despite thousands of residents petitioning to vote NO to  increased density and intensity.  It’s time for new leadership and representation in District 3. 

District 3 Residents will have an opportunity to vote for either Commissioner Betty Rzewnicki or Al Causey. 

We are excited to endorse: Al Causey for St. Pete Beach City Commissioner – District 3. He is a concerned resident who is stepping up to serve, listen, and collaborate with the residents of D3 and the community. He has pledged to preserve residential quality of life and promote business profitability.

As Commissioner of D3, he pledges to:

• Prioritize critical infrastructure repairs by focusing on replacing 40 miles of aging 1950s gravity sewer lines to prevent saltwater intrusion, stop ground settling and sinkholes, and protect our homes and businesses from costly failures.
• Tackle neighborhood flooding head-on through targeted fixes to poor drainage design, storm drains, and flawed reclaimed water pipes, ensuring safer, drier streets and properties for residents.
• Demand better permitting services by addressing delays, inconsistent inspections, unexpected fees, and lack of transparency—delivering faster, more reliable, customer-first service that exceeds expectations.
• Promote true teamwork and transparency through Neighborhood Focus Teams to identify priorities, a weekly Commissioner newsletter, and decisions guided by well-informed resident input—putting our community first in every vote and action.
• Build stronger community ties with weekly neighborhood office hours to listen directly to residents, publish and act on requests for drainage, potholes, stop signs, speed controls, and other local needs.
• Support local economic development by regularly visiting District 3 businesses, helping them thrive, maintaining community awareness, and forming action teams to balance growth with our small-town character.

We believe Al Causey brings decades of high-stakes experience emphasizing precision, accountability, and collaboration. He’s ready to dedicate the time and energy to solve real problems and make St. Pete Beach even better—for all of us.
