No one stands, at this moment, between state Sen. Rob Bradley and re-election. And if someone were to, that person would be competing with an impregnable fundraising advantage, as the Fleming Island Republican crossed the $400,000 threshold in October.
The $10,500 raised last month pushes Bradley’s total to $400,680. Expenditures are modest for the chairman of the Regulated Industries committee, meanwhile, at just under $67,000.
Bradley’s October haul comes, predictably, from a variety of PACs and industry sources. Jim Moran Boulevard in Deerfield Beach was notably profitable for his operation, with five maximum donations coming from that street, from Jim Moran and Associates, JM Family Enterprises, and other companies associated with the family of the late Toyota distribution magnate.
Chevron and Marathon, two oil companies, also maxed out for Bradley.
In the $500 club: Florida Podiatry PAC; Florida Bankers Association PAC; Florida Cow PAC; AT&T Florida PAC; and the American Pharmacy Cooperative.
