Clearwater, Florida, held a general election on March 17, 2020, to elect a mayor and two members of the city council (seat 2 and 3). These elections coincided with the Democratic and Republican presidential preference primaries.[1]

## Background

[edit]

The Clearwater City Council consists of a mayor and four council members, who each serve four-year terms.[2] Incumbent mayor George Cretekos, who was first elected in 2012 and re-elected unopposed in 2016, was ineligible to run for re-election to a third consecutive term.[3]

City council elections were held for seat 2 (held by Jay Polglaze) and seat 3 (held by Bob Cundiff).[4][5][a]

Issues raised throughout these elections included the proposal of a new amphitheater downtown,[9] diversity in city government,[10] rights of nature,[11][12] and Scientology.[13][14] The COVID-19 pandemic in Florida began two weeks before the elections, which raised concerns for the safety of in-person voters and poll workers.[15][16][17][18]

### Fundraising

[edit]

Upon the launch of her campaign, Drayer pledged not to accept any money contributions, saying, "The sea turtle cannot be bought."[19] She led the first campaign fundraising numbers between September 19 to September 30, with a $20,000 personal check from herself; Hibbard raised $19,950 (including $1,000 of his own money); Jonson raised $6,370.20, including a $5,000 personal loan and a $20.20 cash contribution; and Myers did not report any fundraising numbers, as he filed to run after the first fundraising report deadline.[58] It was subsequently reported that Myers had raised $2,100 (all from himself via a personal loan) before November.[59]

Hibbard and Jonson, the two former officeholders in the race, were the only candidates who raised money in November, earning $8,926 and $6,785 respectively; this raised Hibbard's total to $100,419 and Jonson's total to $20,475.40.[59] As of a January article from Tampa Bay Times, Hibbard had reportedly raised $110,469 total, while Jonson had raised $25,340 total.[60] Drayer and Myers, the two non-politicians in the race, continued to self-fund their campaigns, with earned totals of $20,000 and $3,100 respectively (the former's total remaining the same since September).[60] As of January, Hibbard had earned 25% of his donations from businesses, compared to Jonson's 9%; however, Jonson led Hibbard in individual donations from Clearwater residents.[60] Hibbard received donations from powerful political and wealthy figures such as Florida State Senator Ed Hooper, DEX Imaging CEO Daniel Doyle Jr., and political action committees associated with Jack and Chris Latvala.[60]
