The money race between challenger Wes White and incumbent 4th Circuit State Attorney Angela Corey has never been competitive, but March may be the starkest indicator yet of a gap between the two. White raised just $1,000 in March, from Elizabeth White of St. Petersburg. Beyond that, he loaned his campaign $2,500. Personal loans, now totaling $12,722, are […]

A quiet month for Donnie Horner ($2,625), coupled with a strong one for Sheri Treadwell ($16,400), puts her ahead for the first time in the House District 11 money race. Treadwell’s $104,820 raised as of the March numbers puts her just $670 over Horner in total money raised, though her cash on hand advantage exceeds Horner’s by about $12,000 […]

The GOP race in HD 12 is as crowded as anyone could want, with three former Jacksonville City Councilmembers and a current Council assistant among the six-man field. Yet, a confident Mark MacLean, in a mailer appeal to “pro-jobs conservatives,” declares himself “poised to win” the race to succeed Lake Ray (who, word is, is about to make […]

New Edition sang the song “Mr. Telephone Man (There’s Something Wrong with My Line)” about a teen romance gone south. No such songs have been written about Jacksonville’s complaint and information line, 630-CITY, yet. But if there were, they, like the New Edition song from the 80s, would be a lament. Roberta Thomas, a regular […]

Last fall, there was an unusual amount of reporting about the JEA, Jacksonville’s utility provider. Much of it had to do with Mayor Lenny Curry‘s decision to change the composition of the JEA Board in accordance with his vision.

The “Road to Cleveland” delegates have been picked in Congressional District 4, and it’s a strong delegation by any account. U.S Rep. Ander Crenshaw; state Representative, Duval GOP Chairman Lake Ray; and State Committeewoman Cindy Graves all made the cut. Graves’ candidacy wasn’t hurt at all by her Facebook post Thursday that seemed to imply that President Barack […]

That changes next week, as Jacksonville prepares for its annual observation of Victims’ Rights Week. Serving Victims–Building Trust–Restoring Hope is the theme this year, […]

HD 16 Republican candidate Dick Kravitz, trailing his primary opponent Jason Fischer in fundraising by a considerable margin, didn’t help himself much in March. Kravitz’s $4,475 raised brought his total just north of $78,000, and he has just over $68,000 cash on hand. Meanwhile, Fischer, as of his February numbers, has $126,000 on hand in his campaign […]
