Travis Cummings has had bigger fundraising hauls than he had in January, yet the HD 18 Republican incumbent is likely still smiling.

$8,150 of new money pushes Cummings over $187,000, against just under $47,000 spent.

Build Something that Lasts, the Lenny Curry PAC, maxed out for Cummings, the original House sponsor of the “discretionary sales surtax” bill, which is intended to authorize a referendum in Jacksonville allowing an extension of the Better Jacksonville Plan sales tax to address the city’s $2.6 Billion unfunded pension liability.

Also maxing out: W.W. Gay, the Jacksonville contractor who is a regular feature on the fundraising sheets of right-leaning candidates and causes.

Cummings’ opponent, Libertarian Ken Willey, doesn’t concern himself with fundraising; through six filings, his motto has been “no money? No problem!”
