Interview with Fl. Ag Commissioner and gubernatorial candidate Adam Putnam

Lakeland voters will pick their next mayor on the same day they're figuring out the job description.

Challengers in the five-way race for the Lakeland At-Large District commission seat have focused on themes rather than specifics, and have generally avoided direct criticism of the incumbent seeking re-election. The seat is currently held by Jim Malless, who is seeking a second four-year term. Challenging him are Kathy Smith Barsotti, Stephanie Madden, Laurel Pullo and Ricky Shirah.

Four candidates with distinct backgrounds and styles seek the Southwest District commission seat being vacated by Don Selvage, who declined to run for a third term on the board. Lakeland City Government Reporter Christopher Guinn talks about the race for this seat on the Lakeland City Commission.

Lakeland City Government Reporter Christopher Guinn talks about the race for a seat on the Lakeland City Commission. In this race, community super-volunteer Sandy Toledo is running against established business executive Scott Franklin.
