New 48-hour contribution reports show good news for two Northeast Florida political veterans.
Corrine Brown brought in $4,500 recently for her cash-strapped campaign in Congressional District 5, according to her most recent 48-hour contribution report.
Rep. Maxine Waters donated $1,000 of that, though the big donor in the most recent report was Irene Lazarra of the Lazarra Family Foundation, who gave $2,500.
Brown’s total is slightly ahead of that of Al Lawson in recent 48-hour filings.
Lawson’s $4,000 included money from the Fraternal Order of Police.
As of the Aug. 10 pre-primary report, Lawson had over $120,000 cash-on-hand, while Brown languished at just $24,600.

In Congressional District 4, meanwhile, frontrunner John Rutherford is making a last-minute dash for cash, with another $7,000 coming in Aug. 22.
In addition to a previous $18,000 of funds, that gives Rutherford $25,000 of new money with just a week left before the Aug. 30 primary.
Rutherford, as of the Aug. 10 “pre-primary” report, had $136,000 cash-on-hand, though some of that was earmarked for the general election.
