Ted Yoho dominates competition in re-election money race

Ted Yoho

Rep. Ted Yoho, a North Central Florida Congressman whose 3rd Congressional District runs from Orange Park to Ocala, finished 2017 with considerable financial advantages over his competition.

Yoho’s year-end report showed $319,700 on hand.

Q4 saw Yoho bring in $62,000, against just under $59,000 spent.

By and large, Yoho’s contributions were from expected sources: Koch, AT&T, Lockheed Martin, and the like.

Yoho will face a primary opponent: Orange Park’s Judson Sapp filed this week, and it will be worth watching to see if Sapp can raise any real money.

What’s clear is that Democrats in the field are struggling.

Yvonne Hinson leads, with just over $4,000 on hand.

Dushyant Gosai has just over $400 on hand.
