CFO and Fire Marshal Blaise Ingoglia continued to amass resources for his first statewide election in the first 12 days of the month.

Ingoglia, a Spring Hill Republican appointed last year to the role by Gov. Ron DeSantis, recorded $112,500 of new money to Friends of Blaise Ingoglia and $17,280 to his campaign account.

The biggest donor of the first shortened reporting period of the 2026 cycle was U.S. Sugar, which gave $50,000 to the political committee on June 3. Value Underwriters II donated $25,000 as well.

Between his campaign account, the Friends of Blaise Ingoglia committee, and his largely dormant Government Gone Wild PAC, Ingoglia has roughly $6.5 million to spend.

Other candidates are far behind.

Ingoglia’s Primary challenger Frank Collige, a former state investigator, reported a little more than $2,000 on hand after raising $125 during the first 12 days of the month. He paid to qualify for the ballot during this period. The $8,399 fee used up more than half of the $15,520 he raised this cycle.

Two Democrats are battling for the nomination to face the winner of the Collige-Ingoglia battle. Neither of them are off to strong fundraising starts.

Earle Ford, who redesignated from the race in Florida’s 13th Congressional District last month, has less than $1,000 in the bank after paying to qualify. He loaned his campaign $8,000 so he could get on the ballot.

Former state Sen. Annette Taddeo of Miami raised $22,560 and loaned her campaign $6,000 in the week between opening a campaign account and the end of the fundraising period. She has a little more than $19,000 to spend.
