Michael Kirwan, a Jacksonville Democrat seeking to unseat U.S. Rep. Aaron Bean in Florida’s 4th Congressional District, raised more than a quarter million dollars in his first two weeks as a candidate. Our campaign is strong out of the gate so we can deliver for North Florida families,” Kirwan said. The strong fundraising contrasts to that of other Democrats in the race. But despite running for Congress several times since the 2016 cycle, she has never raised the kind of money Kirwan is reporting. “This campaign is about more than numbers — it’s about people coming together to demand better,” Kirwan added.
