Pinellas County Property Appraiser - page 3

Mike Twitty expands already commanding fundraising lead over Jim Frishe

in The Bay and the 'Burg/Top Headlines by

Pinellas County Property Appraiser candidate Mike Twitty is the first countywide candidate this election cycle to raise more than $100,000. With $103,755 raked in through January, Twitty has also outraised his opponent by more than $60,000. Jim Frishe, a former state representative, should be benefiting from better name recognition than Twitty, a first-time political candidate. But the numbers don’t show that. In January alone, Twitty raised nearly $7,500 compared with Frishe’s $300. And Frishe has been in the race for…

Mike Twitty retains fundraising lead over Jim Frishe for Pinellas Property Appraiser

in The Bay and the 'Burg/Top Headlines by

In what so far is the richest race among 2016 Pinellas County public office candidates, property appraiser hopeful Mike Twitty now has a $50,000 fundraising lead over his lone opponent, Jim Frishe. To date, Twitty has raised nearly $86,000, while Frishe has pulled in close to $36,000.

Mike Twitty, in his first-ever run for elected office, has hit the ground running. The 48-year-old Republican — and Pinellas County property appraiser hopeful — is a 25-year state-certified general real estate appraiser who, so far, has nabbed the endorsement of everyone from outgoing Pinellas Property Appraiser Pam Dubov, to state Sen. Jeff Brandes, and St. Pete Councilman-elect Ed Montanari. (And that’s just the short list.) Perhaps more impressive still: his fundraising numbers. In August, Twitty raised over $50,000 for…

Political newcomer Mike Twitty doesn’t seem so new when it comes to campaign fundraising. In August, Twitty, a 48-year-old Republican and 25-year state-certified general real estate appraiser, raised a very impressive $50,000 in funds for his 2016 Pinellas County property appraiser run — a fundraising figure which has only been seen a few times in Pinellas County politics since 2006. In September, after receiving a total of 89 unique contributions, Twitty added another $20,000 to his cause, brining his fundraising total up…

The amount of funding Mike Twitty‘s received for his 2016 Pinellas property appraiser run is about as impressive of a feat as there’s been this early in the county election game. So far, the 48-year-old Republican and state-certified general real estate appraiser from Largo has hauled in a whopping $50,030 for his campaign. Historically speaking, only three other county office candidates since 2006 have raised those kind of numbers in one reporting period. What might be more impressive still: the…
