Yes for Jacksonville finishes July with $255K fundraising week, nears $1M cash on hand

Lenny Curry's Build Something That Lasts PAC is always interesting to watch.

“Yes for Jacksonville,” the political committee set up to sell Jacksonville’s pension-tax referendum, raised $255,000 in the last week of July.

All told, the committee has raised nearly $1.6 million, and has just under $1 million cash-on-hand.

All of the new money was reported as received on July 29, with the usual big donors contributing big money.

Wayne Weaver went $50,000 deep, as did Black Knight Financial Services.

EverBank Financial Services donated $25,000.

“Yes for Jacksonville” ads are already ubiquitous on local television, though with no new public polling since the marketing campaign ramped up, only the insiders really know what effect the campaign is having thus far.
