Katherine Van Zant brings out the big guns for Jacksonville fundraiser on Thursday

Katherine Van Zant

In terms of star-studded lineups, the Katherine Van Zant fundraiser on Thursday night in Jacksonville at the San Jose Country Club cannot be beaten.

Both the event chairs and the host committee are full of some of the biggest names in Florida GOP Politics.

Event Chairs include House Speaker Will Weatherford, former Jacksonville Mayor John Peyton, Senator Anitere Flores, former Duval GOP Chair Mike Hightower, Ambassador John Rood, local power players W.W. GayJay Demetree, Marty Fiorentino, and Mac McGehee,

The event hosts, meanwhile, are names that conservative Republicans know also.

Former Sheriff John Rutherford, Clerk of Court Ronnie Fussell, United States Congressman Daniel Webster, and State Representatives Janet AdkinsLake RayJay FantBen Albritton, and Charles McBurney, along with the candidate’s own husband, round out the all-star team of Florida Republicans backing Mrs. Van Zant’s bid.

One of her opponents, former RPOF Chair Leslie Dougher, has her own fundraiser scheduled for next week in Clay County, but her lineup lacks this level of statewide firepower, which suggests that the power players in Florida politics are backing Mrs. Van Zant over Dougher.

The Van Zant event begins at 5:00 p.m. Interested parties should RSVP with Melissa Langley by email ([email protected]) or by phone (904.358.2757).
