Rep. Val Demings (D-Fla.) pulled in more than $8 million over the last three months for her Senate bid in Florida, outdoing her Republican rival, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), for a second quarter in a row.
The $8.4 million haul is nearly double what she raised in the second quarter of the year. She’s set to enter the final stretch of 2021 with about $6 million in the bank. The news site Florida Politics first reported on Demings’ fundraising numbers.
Rubio’s campaign also revealed on Wednesday that he had raised $6 million in the period spanning July 1 to Sept. 30. He entered October with $9.6 million in cash on hand, though Demings appears to be catching up.
The budding Florida Senate race is among a handful next year that could determine control of the upper chamber. The race is still in its early phases and Demings hasn’t clinched her party’s nomination yet, but she has quickly emerged as the favorite to do so.
