Andrew Jones Photo by Carolina Hidalgo / St. Louis Public Radio Democrat Dana Kelly and Republican Andrew Jones Jr. have both filed for a spot on the primary ballot in the cityâs upcoming mayoral election. Benjamin Borgmeyer, Board of Elections Democratic director, confirmed Jones filed Dec. 23 and Kelly on Tuesday. Kelly has not held public office; in 2018 she unsuccessfully ran against Mavis T. Thompson for the St. Louis license collectorâs office. Kelly is a financial consultant and also owns Reign, a restaurant in downtown St. Louis which has faced numerous governmental roadblocks and obstacles that officials say are related to coronavirus restriction violations since it opened this summer. Kelly and her lawyer believe the continued orders to close are connected to Kellyâs mayoral candidacy.Â
