Florida House: A Crowded Field of Well-Funded Republicans

Fundraising in Florida's House contests shows several Republicans posting comparable totals, but reserves diverge sharply. Brian Mast, a Republican, leads all listed candidates in cash on hand with $2.93 million, despite raising less overall than Joe Strada, another Republican who reported $5.25 million in total receipts but trails Mast with $2.25 million on hand. The gap reflects Strada's heavier spending pace — nearly $3 million disbursed against Mast's $3.15 million, leaving both with similar burn rates but different starting points.

Further down the field, Randy Fine, a Republican, and Jimmy Patronis Jr, also a Republican, show thinner reserves relative to their fundraising, with Fine at $1.19 million and Patronis at $935,301 in cash on hand after both spent more than $2.8 million. Among Democrats, Debbie Wasserman Schultz holds the largest reserve at $1.86 million, ahead of Jared Moskowitz's $1.88 million and Maxwell Frost's $1.28 million.

New Hampshire and Rhode Island Set September Primaries

New Hampshire holds primary contests for Senate, House, and governor on September 8, 2026, followed by Rhode Island's primaries across the same three office types on September 9. Both dates remain more than a year out, but they mark the first primary contests on the calendar and will shape the general-election fields in each state.

Governor's Races to Watch

Ten gubernatorial contests carry competitive ratings worth tracking. Four are rated Toss-up: Florida, Kansas, Nevada, and Ohio. Georgia leans Republican, while Iowa, Maine, and Oregon lean Democratic, and Arizona and Michigan are rated Likely Democratic. With no debates, filing deadlines, or new polling specified for the coming week, the toss-up quartet — Florida, Kansas, Nevada, and Ohio — remains the group most likely to shift as fresh data arrives.
