Though the most famous Rummell in Jacksonville (Peter) did not give HD 14 Democrat Kim Daniels a donation (yet), three other Rummells lined up behind the former Jacksonville City Councilwoman, according to her latest campaign finance report.
Lee Ann Rummell, Harry Rummell, and Mahala Rummell all gave Daniels, a well-known charismatic minister, $1,000 each on Oct. 11.
Those donations were the only monies that came into the Daniels campaign between Oct. 8 and 14. Daniels spent $1,500 during the same period.
All told, Daniels — heavily favored in the largely Democratic district — has about $2,500 banked. However, the primary showed her approach to campaign finance is unique, with tens of thousands of dollars moved into and out of her campaign account via personal contributions and subsequent refunds.
Daniels’ opponent, Chris Whitfield, got $1,000 from the Republican Party of Duval County during the same period.
Whitfield’s operation is even more cash-strapped than that of his Democratic opponent, however; even with the new money, the long shot Republican has just $1,210 at his disposal.
