Alex Vindman Reports $8.2 Million First-Quarter Haul in Florida Senate Bid

Overview

• Vindman, who launched his campaign on January 27, disclosed Wednesday that he raised $8.2 million in the first quarter and finished with $6.2 million on hand.
• His campaign says 99% of contributions were small-dollar gifts, with an average of $39.44 and roughly 27,600 donations coming from within Florida.
• The fundraising edge contrasts with Sen. Ashley Moody’s roughly $69,000 cash on hand at the end of 2025, with her first-quarter report due April 15.
• An Emerson College poll conducted March 29–31 shows Moody leading Vindman 46% to 38% among likely voters.
• Moody was appointed in 2025 to the seat vacated when Marco Rubio became secretary of state, while Democrats cite recent special-election wins and a voter registration push as they try to end a Senate drought that dates to 2012.
