| Description | TALLAHASSEE -- The Florida Democratic Party has started 2005 with its worst fund-raising quarter in recent history, raising about $270,000 in the first three months of this year, compared with nearly $3 million by the Republican Party of Florida.
FDP chairman Scott Maddox was unavailable for comment Wednesday because of a family emergency. Party spokesman Allie Merzer said the downturn was expected after a campaign season in which the party raised millions.
"There's always a lull in fund raising because all the sources are tapped out," Merzer said. "The fund-raising goal for those first few months (after an election) is to raise enough to keep the lights on and the doors open as you start to gear up for the next cycle of elections."
This is the least amount of money raised by the party in any quarter since at least 1996, as far back as the state's online records go. |
