in The Bay and the 'Burg/Top Headlines by

Norman has raised a total of $108,575 in the race, while Schock has taken in $40,450. Norman raised only $1,000 in December, but spent $5,550…

The poll, by Republican consulting firm Data Targeting of Gainesville, shows Kemp leading Norman, 44-35 percent. That’s interesting as a snapshot in time of those two candidates — but hardly representative of the entire field that will be on the ballot in their respective primary elections next August 30.
