County commissioner returns campaign donations
October 6, 2022 - Pinellas County Commissioner Dave Eggers announced Wednesday he is returning leftover campaign donations. In a social media post, Eggers explained that campaign officials are disbursing a prorated share of the total account based on individual contributions. According to the post, about 10% of donations went unspent. “I acknowledge (its) not a lot of money, but it is your money,” he wrote. Eggers, an incumbent, won the Republican primary for the District 4 commission seat in north Pinellas in August. As there is no Democratic challenger in the November election, he will remain in office.
