Moore adds another $6k to campaign
Mike Moore continues to prove he can raise lots of money in a short period of time, pulling in more cash than all of his challengers in his run for the Pasco County Commission.
In March, Moore raised $6,261, bringing his total to $50,561 in his efforts to replace Pat Mulieri on the commission. Only former state Rep. Ken Littlefield was close with $1,200 over the same time period, bringing his total to $2,200.
Moore remains committed to raising money from builders and developers, including $1,000 from the Alfonso family in Tampa, $500 from rancher and developer Don Porter, and $500 from the commercial land broker Eshenbaugh Land Co.
In all, those connected with real estate, development and construction accounted for $4,400 of Moore’s totally monthly haul, while only $2,800 of it came from Pasco County residents.
Littlefield had just one major donor in March, Hodges Family Funeral Home, which donated $1,000. The third Republican in the race, Bob Robertson, raised $238 in March, bringing his overall total to $10,860.
The lone Democrat in the race so far, Erika Remsberg, raised just $50 – small donations from Pasco County residents. She has raised just $450, but so far, she has not drawn a primary challenger.
Moore still has $37,000 in the bank based on money he hasn’t spent, while Robertson still has $4,900 to work with. Littlefield has $1,600, and Remsberg $140 available.
Moore, Littlefield and Robertson will face off in the Aug. 26 primary, the winner set to face Remsberg in November.
