"Shock and Awe": PBSO Sheriff Bradshaw raises nearly $102,000 in ONE MONTH for re-election

"Shock and awe" is how the Post's George Bennett describes Sheriff Bradshaw's fundraising efforts. Here is an excerpt from the article:
     Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw raked in $101,675 in contributions for his 2016 re-election bid during November [emphasis added], more than doubling his already-impressive fundraising haul and leaving his three challengers far behind.
     With his November collections, Bradshaw has raised a total of $200,820 since opening his nonpartisan campaign for a fourth term in April. He has spent $27,390, which means Bradshaw began December with $173,430 in cash in his campaign account.
Some recent events put The Palm Beach Post's "LINE OF FIRE: Bullets and Badges and Death on the Streets" back on the shelf but that will be rolled out at the next opportunity. The net effect of the Post's pitch against PBSO and the Sheriff hovers near zero and hasn't done much to help any of Sheriff Bradshaw's candidates it would seem: the strongest candidate, Alex Freeman, has $12,871 in his war chest.

Remember when other challengers ran "unsuccessfully" against Bradshaw in 2012?
"Stay tuned", as they say.
