About these numbers

  • Florida caps gifts to a campaign at $3,000, so candidates raise most of their money through political committees they’re tied to, and those committees are counted in each candidate’s totals above. Gifts of $1 million or more to a candidate or their committee from other political committees and groups are listed below; gifts from people and companies aren’t. Spending by outside groups on their own isn’t listed here yet.
  • Florida candidates file every week before the election; these figures run through Oct. 9.
  • Next report: Weekly report, covering through Oct. 16, 2026, due Oct. 23, 2026. We’ll update this page once it’s filed.
  • Governor campaigns file with the state, not the FEC, so these numbers come from the Florida Division of Elections and are read by hand after each state deadline, so a new filing can take a few days to show up here. National groups like the Republican and Democratic Governors Associations report to the IRS; their transfers are listed when they appear in state or IRS filings.
