    State Republican leaders are putting money behind St. Petersburg City Council member Ed Montanari’s bid to unseat Rep. Lindsay Cross, D-St. Petersburg, in the November election.

    A newly filed finance report shows that the Florida House Republican Campaign Committee, which is chaired by incoming House Speaker Daniel Perez, R-Miami, gave $25,000 last month to Montanari’s campaign.

    Also, the report shows the Republican Party of Florida provided $13,000 in in-kind contributions of staffing and research in April and May.

    Montanari is challenging Cross in Pinellas County’s House District 60.

    The new finance report shows that Montanari raised $45,445 in cash from April 1 through May 31 for his campaign account, bringing the overall total to $165,400.

    As of March 31, Cross had raised $195,265 for her campaign account.

    She faces a Monday deadline for filing an updated report showing finance activity through May 31.
