Receipts, cash on hand, and outside (independent-expenditure) spending from the Federal Election Commission. Bars are scaled within this race. Open seat: incumbent Byron Donalds (R) is retiring to run for Governor of Florida. Very crowded GOP primary (also includes Chris Collins, Ola Hawatmeh, Jim Oberweis, Mike Pedersen, and former NC Rep. Madison Cawthorn) in a strongly Republican SW Florida seat; nominee undetermined until Aug 18. The field and its fundraising will keep updating as primaries settle and new FEC reports land.
The rating is grounded in this seat’s record on Akashic — its partisan lean, same-office history, and demographics. Read the full profile on the FL-19 place page.
