Show Us the Money
Democrat David Drew has raised no money so far in his bid for Florida's 5th U.S. House District, according to the latest Federal Election Commission records. Drew's principal campaign committee shows $0 in total receipts, $0 in individual contributions, and $0 in cash on hand. Drew is running as a challenger in the 2026 primary.
Candidate Rankings
All federal candidates in Florida combined have raised more than $741 million in the 2026 cycle. Drew's $0 in total receipts means he accounts for effectively none of that statewide total. Among Florida's 85 Democratic candidates, Drew's lack of fundraising puts him at the bottom of the field. Republican candidates in the state, numbering 102, have combined to raise $67.6 million, while Democrats overall have raised $65.6 million.
Incumbents vs. Challengers
Across Florida's federal races, incumbents hold significant financial advantages over challengers and open-seat candidates. Drew, as a challenger with no reported funds, faces a steep financial climb heading into the 2026 primary. The broader pattern in the state shows challengers and open-seat candidates trailing far behind sitting members of Congress in total receipts.
