Donors rally to Daniel Davis (R) in Jacksonville mayoral race
In the wake of a fragmented First Election in the Jacksonville mayoral race that saw the GOP vote split four ways, donors are rallying to the Republican who made the General Election.
Jacksonville Chamber of Commerce CEO Daniel Davis reports raising $548,250 to his Building a Better Economy political committee in the last week of March, the latest sign that he will have the resources he needs to be competitive through the May 16 election.
The Summit Contracting Group led all recent contributors, donating $100,000 on March 27. Pamela Lecates donated $50,000 on March 31, as did the development company The Parc Group. Vadis, which shares an address with the Parc Group, donated $25,000 on the same day.
Gate Petroleum, the Haskell Company, Elite Parking Services, Miller Electric, Ryan Smith, Open Creek LLC, and the Responsible Leadership Committee all chipped in $25,000 each also. The latter is an account seeded by other political committees.
Other names of note donated at lower levels, including Citizens for Building Floridas Future. The committee is associated with Rep. Wyman Duggan, a land use lawyer with Rogers Towers who often lobbies City Hall. It gave $5,000.
