Bill Galvano to help boost Kelli Stargel fundraising next month

Kelli-Stargell-flaglerlive-1

Incoming Senate President Bill Galvano is planning to host a fundraiser in Bradenton next month for fellow Republican Sen. Kelli Stargel, one of a half-dozen GOP state senators whose seats are being targeted by Florida Democrats this fall.

The casual fundraising reception will be held at Gio Fabulous Pizza, 4805 Cortez Rd. W, from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm on July 10.

Stargel is unopposed in the Republican primary, but she faces two Democrats in her SD 22 re-election bid: former circuit court judge Robert Doyel and former state Rep. Ricardo Rangel.

Though there’s still a primary election to be had on the Democratic side, that hasn’t stopped Doyel from ramping up his campaign, complete with some heated rhetoric.

As of April 30, Stargel had raised $183,583 and had $133,614 in cash reserves. Doyel entered May with $75,650 banked, while Rangel had $3,467 on hand.

The fundraiser invitation is below.
