The Republican Party of Florida confirmed several high-profile guests will be in attendance for its Sunshine State Showdown at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood on June 27.
The confirmed guests are.
- Congressman Byron Donalds (R-FL)
- Lt. Gov. Jay Collins
- U.S. Sen. Ashley Moody (R-FL)
- Chief Financial Officer Blaise Ingoglia
- Agricultural Commissioner Wilton Simpson
- North Carolina U.S. Senate candidate Michael Whatley
The event comes a few months before the 2026 midterm elections, which include Florida's gubernatorial election and its U.S. Senate special election. Both Rep. Donalds and Jay Collins are running for governor, along with former Florida House Speaker Paul Renner and businessman James Fishback.
Sen. Moody is running for a full term in the Senate against Democratic candidates Alexander Vindman, Rep. Angie Nixon (D-Jacksonville), and others.
"This high-stakes event will set the tone for one of the most consequential election cycles in Florida history—bringing together leadership, ideas, and momentum as Republicans gear up to win big in 2026," the Florida GOP wrote.
More guests are expected.
"Florida Republicans are coming together for a major event you won't want to miss. Several special guests already confirmed with more on the way," the GOP added.
General admission tickets for the event are $150, with VIP packages at $500.
