Nothing is more important to me than ensuring that St Pete residents have the things they need to live a good life. We will work to ensure things like housing, utilities, recreation, and jobs are provided with human need in mind, and not corporate profits!
-Richie Floyd, St. Pete City Council Member, District 8
About Richie
Richie was first elected in 2021 after running a grassroots campaign driven by hard work and funded by small dollar donations from everyday people. Richie is a Florida native, and previously worked as an Electrical Engineer and a Pinellas County Schools Science Teacher. He lives in the Central Oak Park neighborhood with his wife, Miranda. He enjoys spending time with his family and friends, fishing, gardening, and participating in community organizing.
Richie moved to St Petersburg after college and immediately fell in love with the city. He quickly became civically engaged, participating in neighborhood groups and political campaigns. He is a democratic socialist and before running for office he worked on campaigns for working class issues like the $15 minimum wage, labor rights, voting rights, and more.
