Amount Irv Slosberg has loaned to his Senate campaign approaches $500K

IRVSLOSBERG

Democratic Rep. Irv Slosberg threw another $50,000 of his own money into the Senate District 31 race, bringing his total loans up to $470,000 as of July 29.

The Boca Raton lawmaker was a last-minute filer for the seat and is going up against Sen. Jeff Clemens in the Democratic Primary for the Palm Beach County district.

Outside of loans, Slosberg brought in just $100 in contributions and spent more than $91,000 between July 23 and July 29, leaving him with just under $19,000 in the bank.

Among the outflow was $28,000 to Maryland-based Potomac Campaigns Group for printing and mailing, $26,000 to Mark Graphics of Boca Raton for advertising, as well as $25,000 to Washington, D.C. shop Winning Connections for campaign research.

Clemens added $42,750 to his campaign account during the one-week reporting period, though, like Slosberg, his campaign spent more than it brought in. After $52,079 in expenditures, Clemens had $73,000 on hand.

The Lake Worth legislator’s fundraising haul came in across 59 contributions, including several $1,000 donations from Monroe Street political committees, while the bulk of the spending went ad agency Fletcher Rowley, which collected $46,750.

The pair also face Democrat Emmanuel Morel and write-in candidate Jason Swaby, though neither candidate has shown much in the way of campaign contributions.

    Must be a fine representative. $100 in outside contributions. May want to find a real job.

    Irv just fired his pollster and TV firm last week. I wonder why?

    Irv got all that money off of the backs of children in Asia. No wonder he has so much money. Businesses in America have to pay minimum wage. Irving Slosberg choose to exploit children so he can make the money that he is now paying to get himself elected. I bet he’s going to use his political position to steal. I would NEVER vote for Irving Slosberg
