by Michael C. Bender | October 15th, 2009
Palm Beach County voters can expect two blockbuster state Senate races if trends from recent campaign finance reports hold up.
In two primary battles among candidates hoping to replace Sen. Dave Aronberg, D-Greenacres, the candidates combined to collect more than $305,000 during the third quarter. The four have a total of $826,000 on hand, more than 10 months away from the August primary.
In the race to replace Sen. Jeff Atwater, R-North Palm Beach, Rep. Ellyn Bogdanoff, R-Fort Lauderdale, collected $132,921 from July through September. About 20 percent came from insurers and attorneys.

It looks like Domino might have broken an all time fundraising record…….. For a condo association vice-president campaign that is.
