As he runs for state chief financial officer in 2026, Sen. Joe Gruters, R-Sarasota, in late 2024 collected $192,450 in contributions for his campaign and two political committees, according to newly filed finance reports.

Gruters raised $44,450 for his campaign account from Oct. 1 through Dec. 31 and had about $214,000 in cash on hand at the end of the year.

Meanwhile, Florida Conservatives United, a political committee linked to Gruters, raised $90,000 from Nov. 1 through Dec. 31 and had nearly $879,000 on hand.

Also, the Friends of Joe Gruters committee raised $58,000 from Nov. 1 through Dec. 31 and had almost $181,000 on hand.

State candidates, political committees and parties face a Friday deadline for filing updated finance reports at the Florida Division of Elections.
