Republican Melton Little now enjoys a nearly three-to-one fundraising advantage over his next closest Primary opponent.

The Manatee County native raised more than $90,000 in the third quarter of 2025, including $20,000 in self-funding. That brings his total fundraising to more than $120,000, a third of that out of pocket.

That’s on top of more than $10,000 raised to his Make Manatee Great Again political committee.

“I am truly humbled by the tremendous show of support from our community,” Little said. “I asked them for help and they responded. It’s clear that the voters want someone to represent them in Tallahassee who is a qualified, experienced and a committed constitutional conservative who will always keep the citizens of Manatee at the forefront of every discussion.”
