Action News Jax is working to get answers about the access one political power player had to the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office.
Kent Stermon was a businessman and considered by some to be a Republican king maker, with ties to Jacksonville Mayor Lenny Curry and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.Stermon was found dead last Thursday amid news of a criminal investigation into sexual misconduct.
Each swipe of Stermon’s key card is an unanswered question. There are 624 of them dating back to 2017. We did find he donated to former Sheriff Mike Williams’ campaign, who was sheriff at the time of Stermon’s first swipe.Stermon has never run for office, but has contributed heavily to those who have and won, donating nearly $200,000 to Republican candidates -- $197,522.96 in total from 2011 to 2018 according to the Federal Election Commission.He posed for pictures with them as recently as this month.
