March fundraising reports are starting to trickle in, and House District 12 Republican Don Redman has an interesting donor on his: Sam Mousa, Jacksonville CAO. Mousa maxed out for Redman, as part of a $8,340 haul (that included $1,900 of money from the Redmans, but still). Also maxing out: Best Bet’s Jamie Shelton, the husband of Ali Korman Shelton, […]

At the start of the year, I made 12 predictions for 2016 in Jacksonville politics. A fourth of the way through, revisiting them is useful. Some I got right. Some I got wrong. Some are still in progress. Predictions 1 and 2 revolved around the Human Rights Ordinance expansion, which was the issue du jour. […]

The six way GOP primary to replace Lake Ray in HD 12 had a number of interesting fundraising developments in February. Money leader Richard Clark, who has raised $50,500 on the strength of money raised before he got his job as a six-figure lobbyist for Jacksonville Transportation Authority, again raised no money. His former colleague on the […]

HD 12 Republican Don Redman has been slow to fundraise thus far, a distant third in the race despite having filed more than a year ago. That said, Thursday evening represents a potential change. Redman will hold a fundraiser at the Fraternal Order of Police building from 6:30 to 8:30. Hosting the event: Scott Wilson, Redman’s former […]

The five-way Republican primary for the House District 12 race has lacked a clear narrative for months, and January only presents a more muddled picture. The big question: Is Richard Clark still in the HD 12 race? Despite raising no money again in January, and only $2,000 since the end of April, Clark is still winning […]

“Tebowing” used to refer to Tim Tebow‘s prayerful post-TD poses during his playoff season in Denver. A Tebowing of a different kind, though, can be found in the five way race for the HD 12 GOP nomination. Bob Tebow, the evangelist and father of the Florida Gators legend, gave $200 in January to the HD 12 […]

For most of the State House races in Northeast Florida, the feeling-out period has ended. The real work is about to begin. In HD 11, 12, and 14, we will see narrative shifts, which will torpedo the plans of some pols. HD 11: A few months back, Donnie Horner was lapping the field in fundraising. Sheri Treadwell […]

With one candidate having raised just $275 in December, and the other with zero for the seventh month in the past eight, questions swirl about HD 12. Don Redman was your $275 man, and despite a year of active fundraising, he has yet to cross the $10,000 barrier. Richard Clark zeroed out, again, which will […]

State House District 12 Republican Don Redman had another quiet fundraising month in December; $275 raised brings him ever closer to a five-figure total. Redman is still paying Brian Fallon for campaign consulting: $300 in December. All told, Redman has about $6,000 on hand. He has raised $9,665 and loaned his campaign $500, and he has spent […]

There’s no doubt 2015 was an amazing year in Jacksonville politics. A new mayor, 11 new members of City Council, and intrigue in Corrine Brown’s redistricting saga were among a few top-level highlights. While we have a reasonable sense of what happened in Jacksonville politics in 2015, the next question is what happens in 2016. Hence, a […]
