Miner raising more funds
By staff
Publication Date: 08/24/08
Mark Miner, who is challenging St. Johns County Commissioner Ben Rich, leaped to the front of the fundraising race by pulling in more than $41,000 in August, almost twice what the other candidates for county commission combined raised in the same period.
Miner, 24, received contributions from developers, attorneys, land planners and engineers as well as former St. Johns County Sheriff Neil Perry. The money he raised this month gives him a total of $63,250, making him the county commission candidate who has raised the most this election cycle.
Rich, 59, who is seeking a second term, has raised $5,635, including $1,225 between August 2 and August 21, the last filing period before Tuesday's election.
The second biggest fund-raiser this month is Randy Brunson, 71, who is in a three-way race to replace Commissioner Jim Bryant, who is not seeking re-election. Brunson raised $15,138 in August, giving him a total raised of $32,371.
He is running against Ken Bryan, 59, who raised $995 in August, and Gary McMahon, who did not raise any money in August. To date, Bryan has raised $8.047. McMahon has brought in $2,680 in cash and in-kind contributions and has loaned his campaign $9,500.
Commissioner Cyndi Stevenson, 47, raised $6,315 in August, not as much as Brunson did, but enough to put her in second place in overall fund-raising for the county commission.
Her challenger is Al Abbatiello, 75, raised $950 for a total of $3,247.
