Frank White Campaign Raises Another $195K In AG’s Race

December 13, 2017

In the contest to replace Attorney General Pam Bondi, state Rep. Frank White, R-Pensacola, touted he had brought in nearly $195,000 in November.

White, chief financial officer and general counsel for the Sansing Dealer Group, which runs auto dealerships in Florida, Alabama and Mississippi, raised $143,980 for his campaign account, which had nearly $1.88 million on hand, while his political committee United Conservatives added $52,000 in November and started December with $76,000 on hand.

White has put $1.5 million of his own money into the contest.

Big November contributions included $20,000 from the Florida Jobs PAC and $10,000 from Gulf Power Co.

Meanwhile, Ashley Moody, a former Hillsborough County circuit judge who has the backing of Bondi, rolled out a statewide finance committee that included former House Speaker Dean Cannon, influential lobbyists Brian Ballard and Michael Corcoran, and former U.S. Senator George LeMieux before posting her sixth consecutive month of contributions stretching six-figures.

Moody’s personal campaign picked up $106,371 in November while the committee Friends of Ashley Moody picked up a single $10,000 contribution in November, from the Chamber of Commerce’s Florida Jobs PAC.

She began December with just under $1.23 million available in the two accounts.

Another attorney general candidate, state Rep. Jay Fant, R-Jacksonville, started December with just under $945,000 in his campaign account and an associated political committee known as Pledge This Day. He raised $36,810 last month.

Fant’s war chest included $750,000 of his own money that he put up in September.

State Rep. Ross Spano, a Dover Republican who entered the race for attorney general in mid-November, reported picking up $8,860 through his campaign account. Combined with past contributions for his House re-election effort, Spano had just over $51,000 in the account to start December.

Spano’s political committee, Liberty and Justice for All, picked up $12,694 in its first month of activity.

Ryan Torrens, an attorney from Hillsborough County, is the only Democrat who has opened a campaign account for the race. He picked up $9,158 in November. But while he’s raised $58,264 since entering the contest in May, he started December with less than $4,000 in the bank.
