Jason Fischer hauls in nearly $55K in June for re-election bid

Jason Fischer was among the legislators scoring budget wins this year.

Jacksonville state Rep. Jason Fischer had one of the stronger Junes of any Northeast Florida incumbent in terms of fundraising.

Between Fischer’s campaign account and the account for his political committee, “Conservative Solutions for Jacksonville,” Fischer brought in almost $55,000 for his 2018 re-election effort.

Of that new money, a full $32,700 went into Fischer’s campaign account — pushing it over $51,000 on hand.

Among the donors to the campaign account: some familiar campaign committees, including Sen. Travis Hutson‘s “Sunshine State Conservatives,” Rep. Travis Cummings’ “First Coast Conservatives” and Rep. Paul Renner‘s “Florida Foundation for Liberty.” As well, the “JAXBIZ” committee of the Jax Chamber ponied up.

Also on board: Peter Rummell and Michael Munz, via “RummellMunz Partners.” And the Gary Chartrand Trust.

All of the above gave $1,000 to Fischer’s campaign.

Fischer’s committee, after $22,700 of new money in June, now has just over $29,000 on hand.

The June donors: a lot of familiar names.

Florida Blue, Florida East Coast Industries, and the Jacksonville Kennel Club, along with John Baker and Ty Petway, all cut checks for Fischer’s committee in June, as did Renner’s Florida Foundation for Liberty.
