House District 24 hopeful Paul Renner continued collecting mounds of campaign cash, adding another $68,755 during the first three weeks in January, according to reports filed Friday with the state Division of Elections.
Renner, a Palm Coast Republican, is entering this Tuesday’s GOP primary with an overall fundraising total of $207,130 as of Jan. 22. He has spent $189,783 so far.
Renner looks to replace Elkton Republican state Rep. Travis Hutson, who vacated the seat to run in the special election for the Senate District 6 seat held by former state Sen. John Thrasher of St. Augustine. Thrasher himself resigned in November to become Florida State University president.
House District 24 covers Flagler County and portions of St. Johns and Volusia counties.
One candidate running against Renner in the GOP primary is St. Augustine Republican Ron Sanchez, whose campaign finance report was pending as of Friday evening. Sanchez raised a total of $1,950 as of Dec. 31, as well as loaning $6,300 to the campaign.
