Dalton commented on this moment in his campaign, saying:
“This campaign is laser-focused on making Florida affordable again and tackling D.C. corruption – and that all starts with sending Congressman Mills packing. I’ve spent my life serving this country, and Central Florida is my home. We’ll keep working hard every single day to give this community a better option in November.”
Dalton has earned the support of prominent Florida leaders, including former Reps. Val Demings and Stephanie Murphy, former U.S. Senator Bill Nelson, Rep. Kathy Castor, Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer, State Sen. LaVon Bracy Davis, State Reps. RaShon Young and Rita Harris, Maitland Mayor John Lowndes, and Commissioner for the City of Winter Springs, Sarah Baker. Dalton is the clear fundraising leader in the race, having out-raised Congressman Cory Mills by over a 4:1 margin since launching in November.
