ST. PETERSBURG - State Rep. Darryl Rouson, D-St. Petersburg, isn't wasting any time before kicking off his reelection campaign.

Rouson will hold his first fund-raiser Monday at the Carter G. Woodson Museum in St. Petersburg.

Rouson faces the Rev. Charles McKenzie in the August primary. The winner goes against two Republican opponents: write-in candidate Calvester Benjamin Anderson and Paul J. D. Golding.

Rouson represents District 55, which includes parts of Pinellas, Sarasota, Manatee and Hillsborough counties.
