ST. PETERSBURG-- Mayoral hopeful Scott Wagman has been endorsed by the Suncoast Sierra Club.

The announcement is somewhat of a blow to fellow Democrat and mayoral hopeful Jamie Bennett, who has tried to paint himself as the greenest candidate in a field of 10.

Terrie Weeks, chair of Suncoast Group released the following statement, "Suncoast Sierra Club is delighted to support the campaign of Scott Wagman for Mayor in St. Pete's primary elections. When elected we are confident he will act wisely and decisively in the best environmental interests of St. Petersburg and it's citizens."
