The big money story in the House District 19 GOP race in December is Katherine Van Zant widening her fundraising lead.
There was $21,907 of December money for Van Zant, wife of Charles Van Zant, the incumbent who’s one of the more powerful Republicans in the lower house. It brings her total to $109,910, against just over $25,000 spent.
Koch brothers money was among the many maximum donations from companies in such sectors as citrus, tree farming, and real estate development to Van Zant, a Keystone Heights Republican.
Leslie Dougher barely cleared four figures in December, with just over $1,100 bringing the former RPOF Chair close to $41,000 raised against about $13,000 spent.
Bobby Payne‘s $2,850 December brought him over the $50,000 mark, against just under $5,000 spent.
