September’s Hurricane Irma soaked Northeast Florida — and put a damper on state House race fundraising as well. Though the usual caveats apply here (mostly incumbents in safely-drawn seats), there wasn’t a lot of action in September fundraising. The exception: a big-money race in House District 15, where Republican Wyman Duggan brought in $10,650, and Democrat Tracye […]

Jacksonville attorney Wyman Duggan started off his run for the GOP nomination in Florida House District 15 with strong August fundraising. Duggan, in what has to be read as a warning shot across the bow of potential competition, brought in $53,450 off 70 contributions in August — historically a slow month for fundraising. The donations — […]

Another day brings another endorsement to Jacksonville lawyer Wyman Duggan in the House District 15 race. Tuesday’s rollout: the endorsement of Duval County Clerk of Courts Ronnie Fussell.

The rollout of Jacksonville lawyer Wyman Duggan‘s campaign to replace Rep. Jay Fant in state House District 15 was bolstered Monday with an endorsement from Duval Tax Collector Michael Corrigan. Corrigan, a former Jacksonville City Councilman from 2003 to 2011, represented a district that overlaps much of the House district Duggan is seeking. He joins his successor, Councilman Jim […]

In Jacksonville’s House District 15, lawyer Wyman Duggan is making all the right moves in his bid to replace Rep. Jay Fant. The latest big reveal from the Jacksonville Republican: some of Jacksonville’s best and brightest — and most well-heeled — on his campaign finance committee.

Another day, another winning news cycle for the campaign of Republican Wyman Duggan in Jacksonville’s House District 15, where he looks to succeed outgoing Rep. Jay Fant. Thursday’s first win: the announcements of two significant endorsements locally, with one of them from Councilman Jim Love, who represents much of HD 15 on the Jacksonville City Council. Love described […]

The campaign rollout for Jacksonville lawyer Wyman Duggan in his bid for the GOP nomination in House District 15 has been textbook. Already this week, Duggan launched with Tim Baker and Brian Hughes running the operation, and Jacksonville Mayor Lenny Curry endorsing the candidate he urged to run. On Thursday, another key endorsement from a would-be colleague in Tallahassee […]

The Republican primary will likely decide Jacksonville’s House District 15 next year. And Jacksonville Mayor Lenny Curry made his endorsement known Tuesday. Curry is backing Wyman Duggan … an unsurprising development, given that Curry encouraged Duggan to get in the race, and given that Curry’s own political team is running Duggan’s campaign to replace Jay Fant (who is […]
