Funds keep flowing to a political committee supportive of Jacksonville Mayor Donna Deegan, as the Democrat prepares to run for a second term.

The Duval for All political committee, formed in 2024, reported raising $413,250 in the last three months of 2025, bringing the total raised to $1,419,970. Just $152,173 has been spent to date.

The committee benefited from bipartisan support that suggests an uphill battle for any challenger in next year’s mayoral race, including from two men appointed to the University of Florida Board of Trustees by Gov. Ron DeSantis.

Mori Hosseini’s ICI Homes and Dream Finders Homes, the company of Tampa Bay Rays owner Patrick Zalupski, set the pace for all Q4 donors with $50,000 contributions.

Former Jacksonville Republican Mayor John Peyton’s Gate Petroleum also chipped in $5,000.

Only $5,500 of the $5,500 donated during Q4 came from outside Florida.

With a year to go before the qualifying deadline, Deegan has yet to open a campaign account, according to records maintained by the Duval County Supervisor of Elections.

But neither has any other candidates of note.

While four people have filed, none have held elected office, and the leading fundraiser has raised less than $25,000 to date.

Pollsters tested messaging that appeared to be on Deegan’s behalf late last year, but the political committee’s records don’t make explicit how that effort was funded.

The poll tested Deegan head-to-head against various potential Republican candidates, including House Speaker Pro Tempore Wyman Duggan, Duval County Elections Supervisor Jerry Holland and Jacksonville City Council member Rory Diamond.

That survey came after the Tyson Group’s survey earlier this year showed Jacksonville voters would prefer a generic Republican to a generic Democrat in a ballot test stripped of meaningful markers like name recognition and the power of incumbency.

In Jacksonville, all candidates for a given office face off in the March Jungle Primary. If no one gets majority support, the top two finishers square off on the May General Election ballot.

Deegan won a majority in May 2023 against Jacksonville Chamber of Commerce CEO Daniel Davis, despite Republicans outperforming on turnout and Davis dominating fundraising.
