Months back, FloridaPolitics.com asked Dick Kravitz how he would counteract the fundraising advantage of Jason Fischer in House District 16.

Despite persistent rumors and a floated poll that suggest that Jacksonville City Councilman Matt Schellenberg may still be looking at this race, the HD 16 contest is still a binary clash between old-school Jacksonville politico Dick Kravitz and new-school candidate Jason Fischer.

The race between veteran Jacksonville Republican Dick Kravitz and Duval County School Board member Jason Fischer continues, in terms of fundraising, to be a one sided affair.
