Perhaps the sleepiest Cabinet campaign going into 2018 election is the choice for Chief Financial Officer.

Although current CFO Jimmy Patronis and Brandon Republican Tom Lee are expected to join the contest, they haven’t yet, leaving former Margate Democratic state Senator Jeremy Ring as the only candidate officially in the race.

Ring raised $35,184 in September, and has now raised a total of $159,372 since entering the contest in May.

There is a Republican now in the race. That would be Hollywood Republican Antoanet Iotova filed to run for the seat on September 5. She lost to Democrat Gary Farmer in the race for the state Senate District 34 last November, .

Iovota was arrested last fall and charged with two counts of grand theft. The South Florida-Sun Sentinel reported in January that an unsealed indictment revealed she and an associate were charged with conspiracy to commit bank fraud, bank fraud, wire fraud and making false statements to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.
