ST. PETERSBURG-- City council member Jim Kennedy wants to keep his seat.

Kennedy, who is up for reelection in November 2009, has not formally submitted his application to run for office, but he did reserve the domain name www.keepkennedy.com.

It will be Kennedy's first election. He said he has never been involved with a campaign other than to donate money.

It's unclear if anyone will challenge him.

Kennedy, a St. Petersburg lawyer, was appointed in October 2007 to represent District 2 after the death of council member John Bryan. Kennedy's term ends in January 2010.
