Republican John Rutherford brought in another $11,500 for his campaign in Florida’s 4th Congressional District, according to documents filed Wednesday with the Federal Election Commission.
The top donor on the notice was the Associated Builders & Contractors PAC, which chipped in $5,000 to the former Jacksonville sheriff Nov. 2.
Rutherford also took in $2,000 from Publix’s political committee, $1,500 from Ferber Company chairman Paul S. Ferber, and $1,000 each from the American Dental PAC, the Action Committee for Rural Electrification and Marietta Sand Corporation president Dawn D. Motes.
Through Oct. 19, Rutherford had raised about $711,000 for his campaign and had about $35,000 of that money on hand. Since that report, Rutherford has filed seven notices with the FEC totaling a combined $83,100 in new contributions.
Democrat David Bruderly, Rutherford’s main competition in CD 4, had raised about $46,000 through Oct. 19 and had about $11,300 of that money on hand.
CD 4 covers all of Nassau County, northern St. Johns County and the bulk of Duval County outside of the I-295 beltway surrounding Jacksonville. The district is primarily Republican and voted more than 2-to-1 in favor of Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney four years ago.
