					<description><![CDATA[Democratic CFO candidate Jeremy Ring will report a combined $168,822 raised last month between his campaign and committee accounts, his campaign finance director said Tuesday. Shelby Rogers said the former state senator brought in $154,322 of the money through his campaign account and another $14,500 through his committee, “Florida Action Fund.” &#8220;Our August fundraising numbers are further proof that Jeremy Ring&#8217;s message of bringing a more innovation-driven economy to Florida to create high-paying jobs has resonated with Floridians from the&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Florida Chief Financial Officer Jimmy Patronis has told his hometown television station he will decide &#8220;in the next 30 days&#8221; whether to run for a full term in 2018. Patronis, a former state representative, stepped down from the Public Service Commission (PSC) when Gov. Rick Scott appointed him two months ago to serve the remainder of former CFO Jeff Atwater&#8216;s second term. Atwater left early to become the CFO of Florida Atlantic University.

					<description><![CDATA[A day after state Sen. Tom Lee indicated he would enter the race for Florida&#8217;s Chief Financial Officer, Gov. Rick Scott committed to helping current CFO Jimmy Patronis stay in the position. &#8220;I&#8217;ve known Jimmy for a long time.

					<description><![CDATA[State Sen. Tom Lee of Thonotosassa has never been shy about discussing his ambition to become Florida’s Chief Financial Officer, but he has stopped short of formally declaring his candidacy to run in 2018. That likely is about to change. “It’s my intention to run for the Republican nomination (for CFO) in 2018 and it is my intention to announce my candidacy this fall,” he told me. Lee lost to Democrat Alex Sink in the 2006 general election for CFO.&#8230;]]></description>
