HD 11 Donnie Horner breaches $73K in fundraising

Some NE Florida Republicans may worry about the GOP bona fides of HD 11 hopeful Donnie Horner. However, the donor class clearly doesn’t harbor those qualms.

A $13,125 September pushed Horner up to $73,650, which is over twice what his nearest competitor in the 6 way Republican race, former Duval Supervisor of Elections employee Sheri Treadwell, has taken in (as of her August numbers).

Notable donors to Horner in September include Charlene Shirk, the former First Coast News personality turned PR professional who was once voted “the Most Crush-Worthy Female Celebrity” in a Florida Times-Union readers’ poll.

Another noteworthy Horner backer: former Republican City Council President Matt Carlucci, a Republican maverick who was instrumental in assisting former Jacksonville Mayor Alvin Brown with the Police and Fire Pension deal late in his term, and who endorsed the Democrat during the stretch run of his attempted reelection bid.

September numbers for Horner’s five opponents will bear watching, especially for the four other candidates who are not Sheri Treadwell.
