Miami-Dade Commissioner Natalie Milian Orbis added nearly $207,000 last quarter toward defending her District 6 seat.
That haul, combined with Milian Orbis’ fundraising since her appointment to the seat in early May 2025, brings her total gains to more than $758,000 between her campaign account and political committee, Dade Families First.
After spending close to $38,000 on consulting, voter contacts, mailers, accounting fees and merchant fees, she entered April with more than $561,000 on hand — a strong war chest, considering she’s still unopposed.
“I’m really grateful to the residents, friends, and families who continue to support our campaign,” Milian Orbis said in a statement.
“Reaching this milestone matters, not because of the number, but because of what it says. People are paying attention. They see the work, and they are standing behind it.”
Milian Orbis’ gains in the first quarter of 2026 came mostly through corporate contributions, with many checks coming from real estate interests. Her biggest single contribution, a $25,000 donation, came from Miami-based real estate firm Bluenest Development.
She also received $9,000 from general contractors NV2A Group and $10,000 apiece from Midtown Development, Legacy Residential-tied TMC Naranja 66 Holdings, charter school company Lincoln Marti Schools and Dade County Firefighters Local 1403.
Miami-Dade Commissioner Rob Gonzalez, a fellow Republican, gave Milian Orbis $6,000 through his political committee, America First Florida First.
The Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce, Mercedes-Benz, eyecare company South Florida Vision and consulting firm LSN Partners each gave $5,000.
A former Vice Mayor of West Miami, Milian Orbis represents that city and several others — including all or large parts of Miami Springs and Virginia Gardens, and portions of Hialeah, Miami and Coral Gables — at County Hall.
“My focus is clear: cut taxes, streamline government, make it easier for families, seniors, and small businesses to get what they need without the runaround,” she said. “This is about service. It is about showing up, doing the work, and making sure our community has a government that works for them.”
The Primary is Aug. 18, followed by the General Election on Nov. 3.
