All-star roster for Jax Council candidate Randy DeFoor’s first fundraiser

Randy DeFoor filed for her candidacy two years ago, with insider backing. Now she is endorsing a successor.

Jacksonville City Council District 14 candidate Randy DeFoor had her first fundraiser last week.

While final numbers for the fundraiser were not made available at the time of writing, 125 people were there, for an event with a suggested contribution of $250 per person or entity.

DeFoor — a client of Tim Baker and Brian Hughes — had a stacked host committee.

Among the names one might know: current At-Large Councilman Greg Anderson; Karen Bowling; legendary barrister Hank Coxe; Marty Fiorentino; Preston Haskell; Mike Hightower; and Susie Wiles.

DeFoor, a Republican, thus far is alone in the race to replace termed-out Councilman Jim Love on the 2019 ballot.
