| Description | For the first time since former President Bill Clinton was running for re-election, Florida Democrats raised more money in the second fundraising quarter of the year than state Republicans did.
Democrats continued the momentum they built in 2008 when they registered more voters and won the state’s Electoral College votes by raising $36,000 more than the Republicans did between April 1 and June 30 of this year. In previous second quarters after presidential elections since 1996, Republicans had an average fundraising advantage of $1.5 million, though this year, the Democrats turned that around.
Each party spent more than they brought in, however, with Democrats spending $1,302,059 and raising $1,196,529 and Republicans spending $1,612,571, while raising $1,160,064.
But that did not stop the Florida Democratic Party from touting its first fundraising quarterly victory in years. The Democrats attributed the reversal of the decade-long trend to small donations from 1,740 contributors, compared to the Republican Party of Florida’s 224 donations.
