Sen. Rob Bradley and Rep. Travis Cummings both represent Clay County. Both also hold the gavels for their respective chamber’s appropriations committees.

State Rep. Travis Cummings needed just $850 in August to crack the $90,000 barrier. The Orange Park Republican got that … and $150 more. Two $500 donations, from Duke Energy and from Tallahassee’s Lewis, Longman, and Parker, put Cummings over the hump.

State Rep. Travis Cummings looks to have a more or less clear shot at re-election to his third term in the state House, though Libertarian Ken Willey announced Friday he’ll take another shot at overtaking the sophomore Republican. Willey — not to be confused with fellow minor-party crusader Adrian Wyllie who mounted a 2014 Libertarian run for governor […]
