First elected unopposed in 2004, Finkelstein filed his papers in Tallahassee allowing him to collect contributions.
His treasurer is Steven Michaelson — retired deputy public defender and, more important, a long-time political strategist for former Public Defender Al Schreiber and then for Finkelstein.
