Florida Governor Ron DeSantis broke a fundraising record for a gubernatorial campaign in the United States, raising $175.8m for his campaign committee and affiliated political action committee according to a disclosure he filed on Friday.
The number exceeds that of all other fundraising except for money that candidates give to their own campaigns. By comparison, Texas Governor Greg Abbott, who is running for reelection, raised $116.8mn as of 30 July 2022.
