Political committees pumping up the war chests for candidates in Jacksonville races.
Under Florida law, no contributor can give more than $1,000 per election to the campaign for a candidate for local office. Since the primary and general elections are counted separately, that makes for an eventual total of $2,000 per contributor. However, political committees, registered with either the local supervisor of elections or the state Division of Elections, are not subject to these contribution limits.
Democrat Donna Deegan formed a political committee, Donna For Duval, in the summer of 2021, ramping up speculation of her mayoral run. Deegan formally announced her campaign in November. Her committee has raised $292,798 since it was formed. Her top donor is philanthropist and former Jaguars co-owner Delores Barr Weaver, who has given $24,000. Six other individuals have contributed $10,000 each, as has one company, Blue Monarch Holdings.
