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 ByrdTravis CummingsJason FischerPaul Renner, and Cyndi Stevenson.

From the Jacksonville City Council: Danny BectonAl 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.
