Environmental scientist Lindsay Cross raised $51,957 in her first month running to succeed Rep. Ben Diamond in House District 68.
Cross, who so far is the only candidate in the race, reported 276 donors to her campaign her first month.
Cross’ affiliated political committee, Moving Pinellas Forward, reported no contributions last month but had $19,295 on hand heading into July.
The seat Cross is vying for, HD 68, covers part of Pinellas County. It has a nearly 7,000 voter registration advantage with 46,096 Democrats to 39,207 Republicans — an edge that could be threatened with redistricting occurring ahead of the 2022 election.
