Florida Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Blaise Ingoglia has raised over $1.8 million in the first quarter as a candidate for a full term as CFO in the November 2026 election. The surge gives Ingoglia, who announced his run in September, a current cash-on-hand balance of $4.6 million.
“The amount of support we have received since kicking off our campaign just last month has been truly amazing,” Ingoglia said in a statement. "Floridians across the state are sick and tired of local governments charging more and more money in property taxes each year, with nothing to show for it. I am proud to have the support of so many of my fellow Floridians as we lead the fight to root out waste, fraud, and abuse, support our first responders, and keep Florida fearless!”
Appointed by Gov. Ron DeSantis to the post in July, Ingoglia, Florida's "conservative pitbull," has relentlessly criss-crossed the state since his selection, going after local counties and municipalities for wasteful government spending habits.
Ingoglia has even gotten creative in his audits, serving what one could call "poetic justice" while going after the likes of Jacksonville Mayor Donna Deegan.
