PALM COAST, FL— Today, the Paul Renner for Governor campaign announced it raised almost $1 million in the first quarter of 2026, bringing its total fundraising to just under $6.5 million.
“The response across the state has been overwhelming— we are winning straw polls, converting and mobilizing grassroots leaders, and laying out the most comprehensive policy proposals of any candidate. Thank you to the donors and volunteers for the investments they are making in our campaign,” said Paul Renner.
Renner’s fundraising has come largely from grassroots supporters, business leaders, and conservatives who recognize his record of leadership, fiscal responsibility, and commitment to the Free State of Florida brand.
“Paul Renner has now raised the resources necessary to go the distance and give voters a chance to maintain the kind of gubernatorial leadership they’ve come to expect under Governor DeSantis,” said Brett Doster, Renner for Governor Senior Advisor. “Paul Renner has the proven record and core values Florida can trust.”
Recently, Renner has been crisscrossing the state on the “Affordability Now Tour”, intimate listening and discussion forums with voters, addressing concerns related to property taxes, home insurance, utility rates, and the looming specter of unregulated AI Data Centers.
