Donna Deegan, former Jacksonville TV news anchor and three-time cancer survivor, announced that she raised $85,000 for her campaign for Florida’s 4th Congressional District within 24 hours after launching her campaign.
"I am truly humbled by the outpouring of support from all corners of Florida's 4th Congressional District,” Deegan, a Jacksonville Beach resident, said. “We're building a campaign powered by Floridians chipping in $5, $10, $15 at a time because that's who I will represent every day in Congress."
Deegan’s campaign manager, Erica Connor, said that Deegan's $85,000 in donations came from 100% individual donors, 97% of whom are Florida residents. She said Deegan is a “uniquely strong challenger,” having raised more than Democrats running in Florida’s 4th Congressional District did in the past decade during their entire race.
Deegan, a Democrat, is running against Rep. John Rutherford, a Republican now holding the office.
