FL: Cash pouring in for Monique Worrell's State Attorney campaign

Democrat Monique Worrell and her supporters have turbocharged her campaign’s cash chase for the State Attorney Office in Florida’s 9th Judicial Circuit.

Worrell’s campaign reported pulling in $20,000 and her independent political committee another $16,500 during the last week in July, suddenly swamping the other three Democrats seeking the open seat.

And that was before Worrell’s big August 1 fundraising event featuring a live, albeit online, show by music superstar John Legend. That event had tickets ranging in price from $50 for a select few all the way to $10,000 apiece for super supporters of her political committee Fighting for Justice.

None of Worrell’s opponents in the August 18 Democratic primary brought in so much as $5,000 during the final week of July.

Worrell’s official campaign continued to tap the national progressive Democrats’ movement at both high and low ends of the donor scale. In the week of July 25-31, she received hundreds of small-dollar donations from California, New York, Pennsylvania, Colorado and just about every other state. She also picked up some four-figure checks from around the country.
