A state Senator from Jacksonville has gotten a medical endorsement down the stretch run of what appears to be an uncompetitive Primary.
“It is our honor to endorse Senator Tracie Davis for re-election to Senate District 5. Her service on a health care committee allowed us the opportunity to collaborate on key issues to medicine & we look forward to continuing those efforts in the future,’ said Florida Medical Association PAC President Charles Chase.
Davis is looking to win her second election in two years.
As a Senate candidate, Davis had over 55% of the vote in 2022’s General Election over Republican Binod Kumar and write-in opponent Patrick Lee Cooper. She won the Primary against former Jacksonville City Councilman Reggie Gaffney by nearly 40 points earlier that year.
This time around, her Primary opponent is 40-year-old Francky Jeanty, a graduate of Edward Waters University (EWU), a published author of a motivational book, a self-described “educational consultant,” a former student recruiter for Keiser College, a former admissions counselor for EWU, and a former manager at a car rental dealership.
Jeanty has less than $1,200 cash on hand.
Davis has more than $48,000 in hard money. She also has roughly $185,000 in her political committee, Together We Stand.
The Primary is open only to Democrats since a write-in candidate has filed.
