October campaign finance reports put Republican candidates Donnie Horner and Sheri Treadwell firmly ahead of the competition in the six-way primary battle for House District 11. Treadwell raised the most money last month, with $10,290 in contributions and only $50 in expenditures. Heading into November, the former Duval County Supervisor of Elections employee had just […]

In a crowded six-way race to be the Republican to succeed Janet Adkins in House District 11, former Duval County Supervisor of Elections employee Sheri Treadwell stands out for a couple of reasons.

Fernandina Beach Republican Sheri Treadwell has been hailed by some Republicans as the party’s only chance to drop Donnie Horner in the crowded six-way GOP primary to replace Janet Adkins.

In a crowded six-way race for fundraising in state House District 11, Bryceville Republican (and Nassau County Commissioner) Barry Holloway has struggled to compete with the Donnie Horner money machine. That said, Holloway isn’t going away. He loaned his campaign $10,000, which is one sign. Another sign: Though he raised only $1,850 last month, his contributors […]

Cord Byrd is one of six candidates in the crowded HD 11 primary to replace term-limited Janet Adkins, and odds aren’t necessarily with him. With just under $9,000 in the bank, he trails Donnie Horner and Sheri Treadwell in the race for campaign cash. Despite this, Byrd has a distinction the other candidates in that primary […]

Some NE Florida Republicans may worry about the GOP bona fides of HD 11 hopeful Donnie Horner. However, the donor class clearly doesn’t harbor those qualms. A $13,125 September pushed Horner up to $73,650, which is over twice what his nearest competitor in the 6 way Republican race, former Duval Supervisor of Elections employee Sheri Treadwell, has taken in […]

We had a story this week about Donnie Horner continuing to lap the HD 11 field in fundraising, with a lot of that money coming from Jacksonville power brokers. Michael Munz and Peter Rummell in August. Ben Frisch, Chartrand, WW Gay, and the Fiorentino Group in July. Well, after that ran, local Republicans raised concerns. They brought up Horner’s recent party switch. […]
