Leslie Wimes, DNC member Nikki Barnes spotted at Rick Bakers election watch party

[Jose Garcia]

Of all of the surprises that occurred in St. Petersburg’s mayoral primary on Tuesday — and there were a lot — one of the most intriguing to Democratic politicos in Florida has to be the appearance of Nikki Barnes and Leslie Wimes at Rick Baker‘s election watch party.

Barnes is a member of the Democratic National Committee.

Wimes is the president of the Democratic African-American Women Caucus.

Although the St. Petersburg mayoral race is a non-partisan affair, it’s well-known that Baker is a staunch Republican and his opponent, Rick Kriseman, is a loyal Democrat, so much so that his re-election was endorsed by former president Barack Obama.
