Jacksonville City Councilman Sam Newby has yet to hit his fundraising stride in his re-election campaign to his at-large seat.
May saw Newby, a first-term Republican, bring in just $1,550, a number largely provided by one $1,000 check from Advanced Disposal.
Newby now has $7,150 banked — a slight sum for an at-large, citywide race.
He’s been here before, of course.
When Newby ran and won citywide in 2015, he did so with $9,000 raised.
Newby, an ally of Mayor Lenny Curry, is helped out by having an opponent who also hasn’t fundraised aggressively.
Democrat Chad McIntyre raised just $50 in May, and has just under $172 on hand.
