Jacksonville City Councilman Al Ferraro, a first-term Republican who aligns with Mayor Lenny Curry on issues, continued his slow but steady re-election fundraising last month.
Ferraro brought in $5,500 off nine contributions in May, the lowest total of the four months he has been a candidate.
However, Ferraro’s donations, typical of a reliable incumbent, include contributions from familiar names in the community.
The “Florida Conservative Alliance,” the political committee of Sen. Aaron Bean, donated the maximum $1,000 t0 Ferraro’s effort. As did Patricia Rutherford, the wife of U.S. Rep. John Rutherford.
Ferraro has one opponent on the 2019 ballot: perennial candidate Jack Daniels.
The intoxicatingly-named underdog endorsed Ferraro in 2015.
