House District 3 candidate Jayer Williamson added another $20,000 to his campaign account last month, increasing his lead over fellow Republican Johnathan Walters.
Williamson’s $20,102 haul came in across 36 contributions and his expenditures came in at $2,477, leaving the Milton Republican with $85,538 on hand in his campaign to take over for Republican Rep. Doug Broxson.
Notable donors last month include Duke Energy and former House Speaker Allan Bense, each contributing the campaign maximum of $1,000. The bulk of the May spending went to K. Ballard Consulting, which received $2,050 from the campaign coffers last month.
Walters, the only candidate running against the Santa Rosa County commissioner, hasn’t filed any May numbers yet, and he has so far posted no contributions since filing for the seat in April.
HD 3 carries a heavy Republican advantage and no Democrat has run for the seat since 2010, when Broxson took over the district from Sen. Greg Evers. Despite having another two years of eligibility in the House, Broxson announced he would run for Evers’ SD1 seat shortly after the exiting senator declared he would run for Congress.
