Byron Donalds raises $22 million since February in bid for Florida governor
The congressman, who has $20 million in cash on hand, is considered the frontrunner in the race. Donalds raised $12 million directly after launching his campaign, and another $10 million in the second quarter.
Florida GOP Rep. Byron Donalds' gubernatorial campaign on Tuesday revealed the congressman has so far raised $22 million for his campaign next year.
Donalds announced his candidacy for Florida governor in February, after President Donald Trump offered to endorse his campaign. He is running to replace Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis, who is term-limited.
The congressman, who has $20 million in cash on hand, is considered the frontrunner in the race. Donalds raised $12 million directly after launching his campaign, and another $10 million in the second quarter, per Axios.
Notable donors to his campaign include former Nebraska GOP Sen. Pete Ricketts and billionaires Thomas Peterffy and Dick Uihlein. The trio previously supported DeSantis' campaigns.
The fundraising haul comes as the governor's wife, Casey DeSantis, is also reportedly considering a bid to replace her husband, but has not officially announced a campaign, The Hill reported.
