Gay Valimont announced her congressional campaign had raised $6.7 million as she aims to flip a deeply red seat blue in the special election on April 1.

Valimont made the announcement on Friday, speaking to a standing-room-only crowd of more than 150 people at a town hall at the Pensacola Yacht Club.

“We have raised $6.7 million, and I used to hate it when I would go see a candidate speak, and they tell me how much money they raised,” Valimont said. “… And absolutely, I believe that money should be out of politics, but Jimmy Patronis started this race with $10 million in his pocket, and we know that if he figures out that we're about to destroy him, he's going to spend that money. And it's fine because we're ready.”
