District 45 Senate candidate Jerry Foshee calls himself the "voice of the people" on his campaign website. Foshee is expected to make his candidacy official later this month. According to campaign reports, "the voice of the people" isn't necessarily getting the financial support of the people. Foshee raised $5,250 in the first quarter – 5,000 of which came from the FOP PAC – a PAC his law firm represented while he was city councilman. Out of his 14k+ total raised last quarter, $9,000 was a loan to himself. Foshee also says on his site that a "couple very well known political figures and activists will be taking roles in his campaign, individuals from Cleveland and Canadian Counties." Campaign reports also show "political consultant" Ron black is being paid $3,500-$3,900 a month.
