PALM BEACH, Fla. — Congresswoman Kat Cammack (R-FL-03) shattered fundraising records Thursday night, raising more than $1 million at a packed Mar-a-Lago fundraiser. The event drew roughly 100 guests, including House Majority Whip Tom Emmer and Florida Republican gubernatorial candidate Congressman Byron Donalds, underscoring Cammack’s growing national profile and political momentum.
“Last Thursday’s event was more than a fundraising milestone, it was a statement,” said Jessica Norfleet, Finance Director for Congresswoman Cammack. “Raising over one million dollars in a single night reflects the confidence donors have in Representative Kat Cammack’s leadership, her record of results, and her unwavering commitment to serving Floridians.
“As a sitting Member of Congress, Kat continues to show she’s not just prepared to fight for her constituents — she’s already delivering. This historic show of support sends a clear message: her continued momentum is real, her coalitions of donors in Florida and across the nation are strong, and she’s building the kind of infrastructure and leadership foundation that not only endures but expands for whatever the future might hold.”
Cammack echoed that sentiment, emphasizing that the support reflects a growing movement determined to challenge Washington’s failed status quo and deliver results for the American people.
“The swamp survives on complacency, and tonight proves we are done playing defense,” Cammack said. “We are here to disrupt the status quo, drain the bureaucracy of its power, and take this country back for the American people, and we are just getting started.”
Cammack emphasized that the fight underway in Washington is about protecting future generations and rejecting the managed decline pushed by entrenched interests.
“When it comes down to it, the fight that Byron, myself, and so many of our colleagues are in isn’t for us,” Cammack said. “It’s for your children and your grandchildren. What has happened to our nation and their future is fundamentally unfair, and we are not going to accept it.”
House Majority Whip Tom Emmer praised Cammack’s resolve and dismissed defeatist narratives surrounding the midterms.
“Kat Cammack is a fighter. She doesn’t back down, and she makes real sacrifices to do this job,” Emmer said. “We’ve had enough of the handwringers and the defeatist class. The other side is still on the wrong side of every 80–20 issue. They don’t have a leader, and they don’t have a message, but Kat does.”
Congressman Byron Donalds highlighted Cammack’s effectiveness and hands-on leadership in Congress.
“In a town where too many people want to tweet instead of govern, Kat Cammack lives in reality and gets the job done,” Donalds said. “When it was time to secure the border, protect Florida, and stop Joe Biden’s agenda, Kat Cammack was in the room doing the work for the people of Florida.”
As co-chair of the first Republican Women’s Caucus, Cammack called out the issues that matter to families and independent women voters.
“For decades, independent women have been talked to about just one issue: abortion,” Cammack said. “But women care about far more than that. Strong borders, fiscal responsibility, a strong military, and affordability—these issues matter every single day."
