The money story

Dominates the governor money race: ~$99M in Florida state filings, powered by megadonors (Griffin, Yass, Uihlein) plus Club for Growth, Seminole Tribe, GEO Group, and NextEra. Federal House committee is residual cash for FL-19, not the governor war chest. Faces Jolly on Nov 3 with a large cash advantage.

Federal (FEC)?

U.S. House FL-19 (not governor)

• · Federal receipts are modest because the governor race files in Tallahassee, not with the FEC.
• · ~$1.2M in “other disbursements” on the House committee (often related transfers).
