Orlando District 5 Race: Fundraising Updates
Shan Rose leads Regina Hill in fundraising for the Orlando District 5 race, with Lawanna Gelzer entering as a self-funded candidate.
Rose has dominated fundraising, collecting nearly $22,000 from July 1 to October. In contrast, Hill raised about $4,000 and loaned her campaign another $3,000 during the same period.
Gelzer, a community advocate, entered the race late and has primarily self-funded her campaign. She has given herself personal loans totaling $25,000 and raised nearly $6,000 in donations since filing on September 9.
The race has garnered attention due to Hill's arrest and pending trial, which is not scheduled to occur before the November election.
Hill was the District 5 Commissioner until her suspension from office. The election is highly anticipated, with the outcome uncertain.
