Brevard County Republican Rep. Randy Fine added $23,000 between his campaign and committee accounts last month, giving him with $86,573 on hand at the end of October.
Fine raised $20,500 of the money through his re-election campaign in House District 53.
Making the donor roll for October were Anheuser-Busch, ABC Fine Wine & Spirits, Southern Strategy Group and a pair of political committees tied to the Florida Retail Federation. Each gave $1,000.
Committees tied to the Florida Chamber of Commerce and Associated Industries of Florida chipped in $500, as did lobbyist and former House Speaker Dean Cannon.
Expenditures came in at just $1,500 for the campaign, including about $800 for advertising through TotallyPromotion.com and another $500 for Facebook ads.
Fine’s committee, Foundation for our Children’s Future, brought in the other $2,500 and spent about $1,000, leaving it with $24,540 at the end of the month.
The lone committee contribution for the month was from Publix Supermarkets, while the lone expenditure was a reimbursement for Fine for ALEC registration fees.
Fine was elected to the House in 2016, winning with about 57 percent of the vote over Democrat David Kearns. Currently he is the only candidate filed to run for the seat in 2018.
