Money starts to pour into race to succeed Val Demings; Demings catching up to Rubio herself

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – In an already crowded Democratic primary to replace U.S. Rep. Val Demings, state Sen. Randolph Bracy reported raising $166,000 in the first month of the campaign, more than double the next-highest fundraiser, former Orange-Osceola state attorney Aramis Ayala.

Meanwhile, Demings herself reported raising $4.6 million since launching her bid for Senate in early June, with $3 million cash on hand, while Republican U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio has raised $5.6 million since the start of the year.

The finance reports for the second quarter are the first glimpse of how Bracy, Ayala and civil rights attorney Natalie Jackson fared raising funds to replace Demings in her District 10 seat, because they all entered the race in June.

“The stakes in this election are immense and I am 100% focused on continuing the good work of Congresswoman Demings by delivering real results for the people of this district,” Bracy said in a released statement.
