In Cash Stakes for Ag Race, Adam Putnam beats Scott Maddox

Former Tallahassee Mayor Scott Maddox, the Democratic candidate in the race for commissioner of agriculture and consumer services, posted his fund-raising figures for 2010. Maddox brought in more than $100,000 in cash and more than $55,000 through in-kind donations, while his Republican opponent U.S. Rep. Adam Putnam brought in more than $205,000 in cash and more than $166,000 through in-kind donations.

Maddox is falling far behind Putnam in the money chase. While Putnam has brought in more than $1.6 million in cash and more than $660,000 through in-kind donations, the Democrat has raised a quarter of that -- just under $425,000 in cash and less than $68,000 through in-kind donations.
