Scott Singer, the former Republican mayor of Boca Raton and a candidate for Congress in Florida, is suggesting a major fundraising campaign while explaining to Fox News Digital why he believes there is reason to be optimistic about the GOP in November.
Singer’s first-quarter fundraising numbers for the 2026 cycle show him outpacing incumbent Jared Moskowitz, D-Fla., by a nearly 3-to-1 margin, and more money on hand, despite being the primary candidate.
As a result of Florida’s new redistricting plan, Singer recently announced that he will run in the redrawn 25th district, and it is unclear which district Moskowitz will decide to run in, but Singer tells Fox News Digital that he is “very happy” with the financial support he has received from nearly 3,600 donors.
“We’re thrilled to have had an incredible fundraising quarter, one of the best Republican challenges in the nation,” Singer said. “I think it’s going well because people are very interested in us contesting the election. I think people are ready to change. They are saddened by the continuation of the Congress.”

With many pundits predicting a tough time for Republicans over the coming term as they try to hold on to a slim majority in the House and a strong majority in the Senate and historical storms, Singer says he sees “a lot of reason for optimism” as he campaigns for his race.
“We have the strongest economy, the strongest we’ve had in years, record GDP inflation growth before the recent, temporary blip due to the Iran conflict,” Singer explained. “Inflation was at the lowest level we’ve had in years and voters understand that it’s uncontrolled inflation under President Biden that has put us in this situation.”

Singer continued, “President Trump and the administration have done a lot to lower rates across the board, and the tax cuts will continue to do so. The biggest tax cut in American history is going to American taxpayers right now, huge refunds to individuals and a general refund for 12 million small businesses $7,000 and that was done with every Democrat in Congress voting against it.”
Singer told Fox News Digital that the GOP is now a “middle class” party because of policies to cut the tip tax and overtime, and said he believes those “real gains” will continue to work next year.

“I think people will be optimistic,” Singer said. “If you look at so many indicators of the intention and not the panic expressed by some media channels there, things are good and if you interview the voters and ask them about policies, they lean more to the right. They support the Republican agenda. That’s why I feel very optimistic, and I think that the other candidates, if we focus on the agenda and less on what the media would want us to buy ideas about our payments and they really affect what we pay, and what we do really affects that what we pay for. the border.”
Republicans currently hold a razor-fire majority in the US House of Representatives heading into the 2026 midterms, one of the narrowest controls in nearly a century, with Democrats believed to be holding on, especially if the historically dominant party sees losses in the midterm elections.
Aggressive restrictions by both parties in states across the country have further complicated the situation.
Democrats have been blasting President Trump and Republicans over high gas prices and the economy, and a spokesperson for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee pushed back on the Republican agenda in a statement to Fox News Digital.
“Florida Republicans know they can’t pass a spending-raising, billionaire-first, unpopular agenda that hurts working families and small businesses, and that’s why they want to change maps and fix policies,” said DCCC spokesperson Nebeyatt Betre. “Any Republican who says the GOP’s inflationary policies are popular is proving the fact that they don’t know how voters feel right now.”
