John,
Something important just happened in our race.
With Q4 reports now public, the picture is clear: we have built the strongest campaign to defeat Maria Elvira Salazar.
According to latest reports, our grassroots campaign matched Salazar’s fundraising last quarter — despite her access to national Republican money — and we now have 2x the cash-on-hand of our Democratic primary opponent.
That doesn’t happen by accident.
It happens because people across South Florida are ready for something better.
This district is changing. Voters are tired of chaos, extremism, and representatives who protect an administration instead of the people they serve. They want leadership that shows up, listens, and actually fights for them.
That’s the campaign we’re building…and it’s working.
But here’s the truth: matching Salazar once isn’t enough. Her allies are already lining up big checks. The attacks are coming. And the only way we win is by doubling down right now while momentum is on our side.
If you believe FL-27 is ready to flip, I’m asking you to help fuel this moment:
Chip in $10, $25, $100, or more if you can, today: www.richard.vote/donate
Every grassroots donation sends a clear message: this seat is competitive, this campaign is real, and Miami is ready for something better.
The race has shifted. Now let’s finish the job.
With gratitude,
Richard Lamondin
