It’s going to be a busy few weeks for Florida Republicans.
House Majority announced fundraising events for seven House Republicans, all of which are running for re-election in 2018, between Jan. 24 and Feb. 20.
The fundraising kicks off on Tuesday with an event for Rep. Bob Cortes. The event is scheduled to begin at 5:30 p.m. at The Beer Industry of Florida, 110 South Monroe Street, Suite B.
House Majority will also hold a fundraiser for Reps. Heather Fitzenhagen, MaryLynn Magar, Kathleen Peters, and Holly Raschein on Feb. 15. That event is scheduled to take place in the Library Room at the Governors Club, 202 S. Adams Street.
Five days later on Feb. 20, the House Majority is hosting a fundraiser for Rep. Paul Renner and Rep. Cyndi Stevenson in the Library Room of the Governor’s Club.
All of the events are slated to happen in Tallahassee, and are hosted by House Speaker Richard Corcoran, Rep. Jose Oliva, and Rep. Chris Sprowls.
House Republicans aren’t the only ones raising dough in in the coming days and weeks.

According to the invitation, the fundraising reception is hosted by Senate President Joe Negron, Sen. Lizbeth Benacquisto, Sen. Rob Bradley, Sen. Anitere Flores, Sen. Bill Galvano, Sen. Jack Latvala, and Majority Leader Wilton Simpson.
