Uthmeier reported raising $1.014 million in the week ending June 19, according to the filing, expanding his financial advantage over Democratic challenger Jose Javier Rodriguez. Uthmeier, the appointed Attorney General since February 2025, reported $8.2 million in his political committee and $1.06 million in his campaign account as of June 19. Rodriguez, a lawyer, had $215,000 on hand and raised $13,231 in the same period, his weakest weekly total to date. The Republican Party of Florida contributed $900,000, the largest single donation. Additional contributions came from The Southern Group and political consultant Alex Bruesewitz. Uthmeier’s total war chest exceeds $9 million, while Rodriguez trails by more than 40‑to‑1 in cash on hand. The November election will test whether the disparity influences voter perception. Rodriguez has indicated he will rely on grassroots fundraising as the race progresses.
