LeAnna Cumber continues aggressive fundraising in Jax Council race

LeAnna Cumber, a Republican candidate for termed-out Lori Boyer‘s District 5 Jacksonville City Council seat, brought in over $101,000 in her first month in the race.

Lest some think she’s resting on laurels, a fundraiser slated for Thursday evening says differently.

Cumber will have a fundraiser at the home of Kristen and Andy Allen, two of Mayor Lenny Curry‘s close friends.

In fact, they are so close that the Currys and the Allens took a trip to Orlando to check out rapper Jay-Z‘s latest tour.

Those close to the Cumber campaign note that in addition to establishing early financial dominance, this event also is allowing Cumber to consolidate the support of the most influential people in the district before another serious candidate enters the race.

Cumber does have an opponent, Democrat James Jacobs, who has roughly $400 cash on hand.
