Sheri Treadwell takes money lead in HD 11 GOP scrum
Sheri Treadwell has been endorsed by the Northeast Florida Builders Association in her bid for the House District 11 seat

Sheri Treadwell

A quiet month for Donnie Horner ($2,625), coupled with a strong one for Sheri Treadwell ($16,400), puts her ahead for the first time in the House District 11 money race.

Treadwell’s $104,820 raised as of the March numbers puts her just $670 over Horner in total money raised, though her cash on hand advantage exceeds Horner’s by about $12,000 (with a spread of about $92,000 to $80,000).

Big names who lined up behind Treadwell in March include W.W. Gay and the Haskell Co., two bellwethers of establishment comfort with a candidate. Others include the Summit Contracting Group of Marc and Nicole Padgett, both exceedingly helpful to Jacksonville Mayor Lenny Curry during his campaign.

In terms of fundraising, it’s a two-person race. Barry Holloway has about $13,000 on hand, Cord Byrd has about $25,000 on hand, and Tom Taylor has about $12,000 on hand.

Taylor, who scored early endorsements from Beaches elected leaders, has not raised enough to make some of his early endorsers happy. That raises the question: Will any jump ship?

David Bunk and Jack Daniels, the other two candidates in the seven-person race, have not raised any money yet.
