Northeast Florida Builders roll out general election endorsements

jacksonville2

On Thursday, the Northeast Florida Builders Association rolled out its general election endorsements.

The NEFBA slate is heavy on incumbents and people either running unopposed or poised to win safe elections.

The most interesting endorsement: Reggie Fullwood, the indicted incumbent in House District 13, instead of Republican pastor Mark Griffin.

Fullwood was the only Democrat to get the NEFBA nod.

In other House races, Cord Byrd, Clay YarboroughJay Fant, and Jason Fischer, running against write-ins in HD 11, 12, 14, and 16 respectively, got endorsements. As did Bobby Payne in HD 19 over Democrat Hubert Snodgrass, and Paul Renner over Adam Morley in HD 24.

Elsewhere in Duval races, Ronnie Fussell was the choice for re-election in the Duval clerk of courts race.

Charlie Latham got the backing of the group for re-election as Jacksonville Beach mayor.

And Barbara Toscano is the NEFBA pick for School Board Group 7.
