Warren Lee admits the race he is running for Jacksonville mayor is the political equivalent of pushing a rock up a steep hill.
The 45-year-old Lee, who left his job as a correctional officer in the state Department of Juvenile Justice in July, is a political unknown in a race where four of the candidates have had long careers in government. All four have raised far more money than Lee, who, at last report, had raised less than $7,000.
"I make no bones about it," Lee said. "I'm the unfunded candidate."
