Matt Shirk “pleased” with $9,100 haul in first 2 weeks of fundraising

Fourth Circuit Public Defender Matt Shirk filed for re-election in mid-January, and he’s “pleased” with the $9,100 raised thus far.

Among maximum donors in the early going: Delores Kesler, a local Jacksonville legend who’s on the JEA Board, and Marty Fiorentino‘s Fiorentino Group, which will be handling the fundraising going forward for the Shirk campaign, including weekly meetings between Fiorentino and the candidate.

A source familiar with the Shirk campaign says that February will be a big month for his  fundraising efforts.

Charles Cofer, running to unseat fellow Republican Shirk as 4th Circuit Public Defender, raised nearly $21,000 in January.

Cofer’s cash on hand is just under $27,000. He spent $5,758 in January, and has spent $8,765 against $28,285 raised and a $7,000 personal loan.
