Wyman Duggan hauls in $53K to kick off HD 15 bid
JAXBIZ endorsed Wyman Duggan at a pivotal time, with challenges emerging and money drying up.

Wyman Duggan has the machine behind him in his bid to replace Jay Fant.

Jacksonville attorney Wyman Duggan started off his run for the GOP nomination in Florida House District 15 with strong August fundraising.

Duggan, in what has to be read as a warning shot across the bow of potential competition, brought in $53,450 off 70 contributions in August — historically a slow month for fundraising.

The donations — most of them maxed out at $1,000 — reflect Duggan’s base of support.

Jacksonville Mayor Lenny Curry‘s “Build Something That Lasts” political committee was in for $1,000, as was former Mayor John Peyton‘s Gate Petroleum.

Marty Fiorentino gave $500; his Fiorentino Group added $1,000.

Best Bet, the Jacksonville Kennel Club, First Coast Energy, and RummellMunz Partners: still more $1,000 donors.

Duggan has one Democratic opponent: Dr. Tracye Polson.

Polson entered the race Sept. 1, and thus has no fundraising to report as of yet.
