Scott Singer, the former Republican mayor of Boca Raton and a candidate for Congress in Florida , is touting a significant campaign fundraising haul while outlining to Fox News Digital the reasons why he believes there is reason for optimism for the GOP in November. Singer’s first-quarter fundraising numbers in the 2026 cycle showed him significantly outraising incumbent Jared Moskowitz, D-Fla., by a nearly 3-to-1 margin, along with slightly more cash on hand, despite being a first-time candidate. As a result of Florida’s new redistricting push, Singer recently announced he will be running in the redrawn 25th congressional district, and it is unclear which district Moskowitz will decide to run in, but Singer tells Fox News Digital he is "very pleased" with the financial support he’s gotten from almost 3,600 contributors "We're very pleased that we had an amazing fundraising quarter, one of the best of any Republican challenger in the nation," Singer said. "I think it's going well because people are really enthused about our candidacy. I think people are ready for change. They're upset with the progress of Congress."

"We have a strong economy, the strongest we've had in years, record growth in GDP inflation before the latest blip, which is temporary because of the Iran conflict," Singer explained. "Inflation was at the lowest level we had for years and voters understand that it was the one unchecked runaway inflation under President Biden that put us in this situation."
