While we all know that St. Pete is filled with strong women, did you know that, right now, the Burg has more female leaders than ever in city history? Here are some of the women fighting for all of us here in St. Pete

Dr. Kanika Tomalin

Dr. Kanika Tomalin is the current City Administrator/Deputy Mayor. She makes history as both the first woman and the first African-American Deputy Mayor in St. Pete.

The Women of City Council

Also making history is the entire City Council. This year, St. Pete City Council has the first ever female majority in city history. These women include (from left to right) Gina Driscoll (District 6),Amy Foster (District 8), Lisa Wheeler-Bowman (District 7), Darden Rice (District 4), and Brandi Gabbard (District 2).
