FL-GOV: David Jolly campaign says he's raised $3 million-plus so far in race for governor
The David Jolly campaign announced Friday that it raised more than $1 million in the fourth quarter of 2025 and more than $3 million overall in his race for the Democratic nomination for Florida governor.
That number pales in comparison to the $40 million Republican Byron Donalds’ gubernatorial campaign announced last month.
Jolly is a former Pinellas County Republican U.S. representative who announced his candidacy in early June, and for much of 2025 was the only high-profile Democrat in the race to succeed Ron DeSantis in November 2026.
Orange County Mayor Jerry Demings entered the Democratic race in November. His campaign has yet to announce any fundraising amounts (and did not respond to a request for comment).
