Gay Valimont Raises $6.7 Million to Challenge Gaetz
Democratic candidate Gay Valimont announced she has raised $6.7 million for her campaign to unseat Republican Jimmy Patronis in Florida’s 1st Congressional District special election on April 1st. This substantial fundraising effort counters Patronis’s significant existing funds and aims to flip a historically Republican seat. Valimont’s campaign leverages national outrage over Trump-era policies and the potential impact on the House majority. She addressed key issues at a town hall, including healthcare, veterans’ rights, and reproductive rights, while highlighting Patronis’s perceived failures as Florida’s CFO.
