State Rep. Ritch Workman, the Melbourne Republican and House Rules chairman, is inviting his Tallahassee friends – read “lobbyists” – to a “good old-fashioned Christmas party.” The hope is they’ll bring their checkbooks, though that’s “not required.” In an email sent this month, Workman said he’d “made a lot of friends in this process (but) usually our ‘fellowship’ is at a typical fundraising event.” He was first elected in 2008 and is thus term-limited next year. “Well, once a year I want to do…

Published on October 12, 2015 in Statewide/Top Headlines by Drew Wilson

Republican state Sens. Jack Latvala and Joe Negron may have posted big-time fundraising numbers last month, but they weren’t the only Senate Republicans raking in contributions.

Innovate Florida’s biggest contributions came from the U.S. Sugar Corp. and Florida Power & Light topped the list, each giving $50,000, with…

Published on August 10, 2015 in Statewide/Top Headlines by Drew Wilson

July fundraising numbers are in, though none of the big-ticket Senate races for 2016 got much action, and with the Special Session on Redistricting, it should stay that way for sitting lawmakers during the back half of August. Fort Walton Beach Republican state Rep. Matt Gaetz brought in $16,855 for the month and spent $7,629, leaving him with a formidable $441,907 cash-on-hand heading into August.
