Josh Weil, Democrat in the FL-6 congressional special election, announced that his campaign has raised over $10 million for the cycle.
The upcoming Florida congressional special election on April 1st. He is taking on Trump-endorsed Republican Randy Fine as Democrats attempt to threaten the Republican majority in the U.S. House.
Weil, a public educator and single father, has built a powerful grassroots campaign focused on protecting funding for local schools, strengthening Social Security, expanding access to high-quality, affordable health care, and delivering economic relief for Floridians.
“Our campaign is about fighting back against the threats against health care and public schools,” the Democratic congressional candidate said. “I’m grateful for the hundreds of thousands of Floridians and regular Americans who still believe in a better future. It’s that grassroots energy that is going to defeat career politician Randy Fine and the huge corporations and special interests that own him and his campaign.”
This explosive grassroots fundraising momentum is a sign of the mounting frustration against Republicans nationally. With the House majority hanging by a thread and special elections being difficult to predict, this is an election to watch.
Democrat Josh Weil’s fundraising momentum in the FL-6 congressional special election, by the numbers:
- Over $10,000,000 raised
- Over 240,440 unique donors who have made 348,586 contributions
- $29 average contributions
- Zero dollars from corporate PACs
This Florida 6th congressional district race is to replace former Republican Congressman Michael Waltz, who resigned to serve as President Donald Trump’s National Security Advisor. The general election on April 1, 2025 will be seen as an early bellwether of Democratic enthusiasm in the new Trump administration.
The Democrat in the FL-6 congressional special election is feeling the momentum with big fundraising numbers, but will it translate to votes?
