Four state House members will not return to the Legislature after losing in Tuesday’s primary elections, while another representative is poised to head to the Senate.
Jennifer Canady remains cash leader in HD 40 race
Lakeland Republican
Jennifer Canady has added onto an already sizable war chest for an open House seat. While her March donations were a fraction of her
headline-making initial report, she continued to outraise all competitors.
Canady, who
announced in February she wanted to succeed Rep.
Colleen Burton, pulled in $8,995 in new donations for March. That brings her grand total in donations to $95,760 in just two months, and she’s sitting on $89,125 in cash on hand.
By comparison, Lakeland City Commissioner
Phillip Walker, who
jumped into the race in January, posted a solid March with $7,980 in new donations and has raised $25,950 in total. He has spent little of that so far and still has $25,394 in the bank.
