Peterman to Endorse Rouson

State Rep. Frank Peterman, D-St. Petersburg, apparently has an opinion about who should replace him in the job: Darryl Rouson, the former local NAACP president and one-time former Republican.

Power Broker Magazine issued a media advisory for 6 p.m. Friday saying that Peterman would be endorsing Rouson at Tangerine Plaza in St. Petersburg. Peterman, who was term limited, was named Gov. Charlie Crist's new juvenile justice secretary last week. Rouson just recently switched his affiliation back to Democrat after being courted to the Republican party by Jeb Bush and Crist.

The Democratic primary for District 55 is March 25.
