"When we can explain our side, we win."

Rep. Paul Renner went into the Legislative Session with the strongest fundraising in the House.

Touting the $854,000 raised between the election and Session, the House District 24 incumbent said “when we can explain our side, we win.”

The Palm Coast Republican, who will be Speaker in a few years, continued in May to marshal resources, bringing in $54,500 between one of his campaign committees and his campaign account.

His Florida Foundation for Liberty political committee hauled in $44,000, mostly from the construction industry. The Florida Transportation Builders Association gave $10,000, in addition to $2,334 in in-kind contributions related to a fundraiser.

Florida Blue donated $10,000, while the Keeping Florida Affordable political committee (largely a Jacksonville donor class vehicle) ponied up $5,000.

The Florida Foundation for Liberty committee has roughly $190,000 on hand. Renner’s other committee, Conservatives for Principled Leadership, did not raise any money in May, yet still has roughly $385,000 on hand.

Construction industry donors largely populated the $10,500 in hard money also raised by Renner in May, pushing him to $33,500 in his campaign account, and giving him around $600,000 for the battles to come next year.

Renner thus far has faced no primary opposition since being elected. He has faced a Democratic opponent in each of his general elections, with 2018’s 22 point win being the closest of the lot.
