State Rep. Clay Yarborough, a Jacksonville Republican in his first term, will likely expand his money lead over Democratic challenger Tim Yost at a fundraiser Thursday evening.
The event, kicking off at 5:30 p.m. at the Jacksonville offices of Foley & Lardner, includes numerous elected officials on the host committee.
From the Florida Senate: Rob Bradley, Aaron Bean, and Travis Hutson.
From the state House: Cord Byrd, Travis Cummings, Jason Fischer, Paul Renner, and Cyndi Stevenson.
From the Jacksonville City Council: Danny Becton, Al Ferraro, Bill Gulliford, and Matt Schellenberg.
At the end of May, Yarborough had over $105,000 on hand, and no primary competition, as he prepares for a general election clash with Yost, who had $3,600 on hand.
Yarborough’s HD 12 includes Arlington and other Southside neighborhoods in Jacksonville. It is historically Republican.
