LJ Holloway filed a fundraising report covering April, May and June that showed $12,447 in total receipts from 17 donations, led by a $2,000 contribution from the Chiweenie Trust, and $8,001 in expenditures, leaving $24,450 in cash on hand after transfers from previous campaigns.
Brit Robinson, another Democratic candidate in the district, retained $5,019 at the end of the period.
The Democratic Socialists of America candidate raised $29,446 all‑inclusive, out‑raising Holloway for the cycle.
Michael Kirwan, a former Jacksonville Ethics Commission chair, reported $719,151 in receipts and $291,690 in cash on hand.
Holloway said she has refused money from big business and developer donors, emphasizing that she has no PAC and contributes only from small individuals, while noting that she remains “for the people, not the powerful.”
A Tyson Group poll placed Holloway 31 points ahead of Kirwan, citing her higher name recognition in the district that includes Jacksonville’s Northside and Westside, Clay County and all of Nassau County.
Kirwan’s campaign said its own polling shows a different race with the candidate ahead, and questioned why a Republican‑aligned polling firm would be involved in a Democratic primary.
Incumbent Republican Aaron Bean, who entered Congress after serving in the Florida Senate, has raised more than $2 million this cycle and retains over $1.5 million, having won 57 % of the vote in 2024 and performed strongly outside Duval County.
The district’s partisan registration is roughly 41 % Republican and 34 % Democratic, and the Democratic primary winner will face Bean in the general election.
