Rep. Val Demings (D), who is running to the U.S. Senate this year against Sen. Marco Rubio (R), has posted another whopping fundraising quarter to end 2021
The Demings campaign announced that the former Orlando Chief of Police raised over $7.1 million in the last quarter of 2021, adding to the $13,508,251.91 she has already reported. Team Demings is boasting that it has $8.1 million "cash-on-hand," claiming that its "the most ever by a Senate challenger in Florida."
“We are so grateful for every supporter who has stepped up to beat career politician Marco Rubio and send Chief Demings to the United States Senate,” said Demings Campaign Manager Zack Carroll. “Our campaign is building a grassroots movement in every corner of this state that’s fired up and ready to hold Rubio accountable for failing to fight for Florida’s working families. With our fundraising, we are taking our message to every voter and leaving no community behind in our historic fight for Florida. We’ve built strong momentum, and the army of grassroots donors supporting Chief Demings will continue to drive this campaign to victory in November.”
Senator Rubio has not reported his end-of-year fundraising totals, but according to his last report, the senior senator from Florida had $9.6 million cash-on-hand.
