KYLE'S SEAT IN SIGHTS

Democrat Peter Burkert and Republican Nick Thompson — both attorneys in Fort Myers —have filed the paperwork to run for the state House seat now held by Rep. Bruce Kyle, R-Fort Myers.

They can now start raising money, although their accounts weren't open in time to collect donations in the last quarter.

Jim Fleming, a Lehigh Acres Republican and community activist, said this week he still plans to run for that seat.




Kyle must step down because of term limits.

Other Southwest Florida legislators are so far unopposed, and haven't done major fund-raising.
