In the race to replace former Rep. Reggie Fullwood in House District 13, GOP Pastor Mark Griffin still leads the money race. But Democrat Tracie Davis is making a late surge. The gap in resources between Griffin and Davis is still real: Davis has just over $11,000 on hand; Griffin has over $26,000 on hand. However, in the […]

Despite running in a heavily Democratic district, Republican Mark Griffin is playing to win in the House District 13 race. Thursday evening represented one of the most potentially pivotal evenings in his campaign against Democrat Tracie Davis, the replacement candidate for Reggie Fullwood, whose name is still on the ballot. Davis and Griffin debated at Jacksonville’s Edward Waters College; in […]

The depressing denouement of the political career of former HD 13 Rep. Reggie Fullwood got even sadder this week, as his driver’s license was suspended. On Aug. 25, days before the primary election, Fullwood received a ticket for running a red light. Fullwood failed to pay the $262 ticket, and 60 days after the infraction, his license was suspended. […]

In recent debates and interviews with this outlet, HD 13 Democrat Tracie Davis has discussed being trusted by both sides of the aisle. Davis’ latest campaign finance report, spanning the gap between Oct. 8 and Oct. 14, shows that trust for Davis, who just got into the race as a general election candidate in early October. […]

Though Reggie Fullwood is out of the Legislature, his legal travails continue. On Friday, federal prosecutors filed a motion to collect “$60,552.80 … the amount of proceeds he obtained as a result of the offense to which he plead guilty.” Weeks back, Fullwood pleaded guilty to two of the 14 counts of fraud for which he was […]

At First Coast Tiger Bay Friday, the highlight of the program was a debate between HD 13 candidates Republican Mark Griffin and Democrat Tracie Davis. It was a well-reasoned and reasonable discussion between two people who were friends before they ran against each other … and hopefully will be after Nov. 8. In what is by far […]

The resource gap in the Congressional District 6 race between incumbent Republican powerhouse Ron DeSantis and Democratic challenger William McCullough defies belief. DeSantis, who was an energetic fundraiser during his discontinued campaign for the United States Senate, had $2,604,630 on hand as of his October quarterly filing. McCullough? He’s $1,269 in the red. In what seems like a […]

For House District 13 Democratic candidate Tracie Davis, her entire campaign comes down to one call to action. That call to action? Darken the oval next to Reggie Fullwood’s name on the ballot. Davis, who ran competitively against Fullwood only to lose by a few points in August, began her campaign anew in October, after […]

Duval County Democrats inclined to donate to down-ballot candidates have two opportunities to do so Thursday evening. House District 13 hopeful Tracie Davis and Duval County Clerk of Courts candidate Paula Bartlett each are giving Jacksonville Dems an opportunity to donate to their efforts. Davis’ event begins first at 5:45 p.m. at the Zodiac Bar and Grill […]

The race in Jacksonville’s House District 13 has been an oddity since April, when then-incumbent Reggie Fullwood was indicted on federal fraud charges. At first, Fullwood maintained his innocence, beating Tracie Davis and others in the Democratic primary before pleading guilty to two charges, renouncing his candidacy, and resigning his seat. The Duval Democrats chose Davis to replace […]
