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

Jacksonville Republican Wyman Duggan rolled out a swath of endorsements on Wednesday in his bid for the GOP nomination in House District 15.

Councilmen Danny Becton, Matt Schellenberg, Greg Anderson, Aaron Bowman, Scott Wilson, Doyle Carter, and Sam Newby are newly on board.

Also lining up behind Duggan: former Councilmen Jim Overton and Kevin Hyde.

“I am humbled by so many community leaders stepping forward to support my campaign and share their valuable perspective with me,” Duggan said.

Duggan was previously endorsed by  Rep. John Rutherford, State Sen. Aaron Bean, State Rep. Jason Fischer, Duval Clerk of Courts Ronnie Fussell, Duval Tax Collector Michael Corrigan and Councilman Jim Love.

Duggan faces no competition thus far for the GOP nomination in the race to succeed Jay Fant, who is running for Attorney General.

Duggan will have a general election opponent, however: Democrat Tracye Polson.
