“Build Something That Lasts,” the political committee of Jacksonville Mayor Lenny Curry, raised $110,000 in February.

That sum follows a $63,000 January.

Curry’s committee secured the $110,000 from five donors, including the Jacksonville Jaguars, Peter RummellGary Chartrand, and J.B. Coxwell.

While these are usual donors, the committee also got a $25,000 donation from Mori Hosseini, the CEO of ICI Homes who is a noted power player in GOP politics.

For those monitoring Curry’s appeal outside of Northeast Florida, the Hosseini donation is a strong indication of what may be a trend.

Of the $41,355 spent, the vast majority went on consulting fees.

Exceptions to that rule: $5,000 to the Florida Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee, and $1,000 to Wilton Simpson‘s campaign account.

All told, the committee has roughly $240,000 on hand.
