Tomorrow is special election day in Jacksonville’s Florida House District 13. A former incumbent Democratic representative is seeking to regain his seat after paperwork errors disqualified him from last year’s election.
Democrat Reggie Fullwood has raised more than 20 times the amount of money as his opponent, Republican Lawrence “Jeff” Jefferson, has.
Fullwood amassed more than $170,000 during his campaign for re-election. Jefferson has raised just over $7,000, according to campaign finance reports.
Last year Fullwood would have run unopposed, but he didn’t complete his campaign qualifying documents in time because of two separate notary errors. As a result, he wasn’t allowed on November’s ballot.
District 13 is a largely Democratic area covering Northwest Jacksonville, Arlington and San Marco.
