Wellington Republican Rep. Anne Gerwig raised more than $87,000 last quarter to keep her House District 93 seat representing an inland portion of Palm Beach County.
The haul, taken entirely through her campaign account, pushed her total gains this cycle past $106,000.
Her sole Democratic challenger so far, lawyer August Mangeney, collected a comparatively paltry $6,400. But he outspent Gerwig nearly twofold.
Gerwig’s fourth-quarter gains included a $50,000 self-loan not denoted as such in her campaign’s filings with the Division of Elections website.
She also received 65 donations — a blend of personal checks, corporate contributions and additions from political committees.
Former Rep. Rick Roth, who is now running to replace Democrat Lori Berman in Senate District 26, gave Gerwig $1,000.
She received the same sum from several legal and lobbying businesses, including Fort Lauderdale firms Becker & Poliakoff and TSE Consulting, West Palm Beach firms Rosenbaum LLC and Herman Law P.A., and Plantation-based lobbyist Ron Book.
From the agriculture business, Gerwig got $1,000 from West Palm Beach-based Agro Industrial Management and American Exports, a Florida Crystals subsidiary, and Closter Farms.
Trade and union interests gave too, with $1,000 coming from FPF Fire PC, Radiology PAC, Florida Surveying and Mapping PAC, the Florida Association of Nurse Anesthesiologists and Marine Industries Association. Professional Firefighters/Paramedics also gave $500.
From real estate, Gerwig got $1,000 apiece from Miami-based Fort Worth Property Partners, Palm Springs-based The Brand X Company and West Palm Beach-based Verdex Construction.
Other corporate donations included $2,000 from companies associated with Deerfield Beach-based car dealership company JM Family Automotive and $1,000 from Comcast and Southern Glazer’s Wine and Spirits.
Gerwig spent just under $8,000. Half went to West Palm Beach-based Patriot Games Consulting.
She also spent about $2,600 on a campaign kickoff event at the Wellington National Golf Club, $549 on work from Spotlight Graphic Design in Tampa, $213 on printing from VistaPrint and $150 on an ad with the Education Foundation of Palm Beach County.
The rest covered donation-processing fees and office supplies.
Mangeney, meanwhile, received 23 contributions — most from South Florida residents and political committees, through his campaign account and political committee, Allegiance to Democracy.
That included $1,000 from the political committees of Democratic Sens. Tina Scott Polsky of Boca Raton and Shevrin Jones of Miami Gardens.
The Florida Project, a political committee chaired by Florida Alliance Managing Director Tessa Bay, gave the same.
Mangeney also spent about $15,100. The lion’s share covered consulting costs: $6,000 to Plantation-based consulting firm Sunshine Strategies and $1,000 to Wilton Manors-based 1776 Inc.
He also paid $448 to Miami-based Little River Press for door hangers and $75 for a sponsorship with the Palm Beach Treasure Coast AFL-CIO.
The rest covered compliance, bank fees and donation-processing fees.
Mangeney’s Q4 gains pushed him past the $64,000 mark. He had about $34,000 heading into the new year.
Gerwig had nearly $98,000.
The race to represent HD 93, spanning Wellington, Greenacres, parts of Lake Worth Beach and a section of unincorporated Palm Beach County, is likely to be among the most-watched contests in the 2026 election cycle.
Gerwig, a former Mayor of Wellington, won the seat in November by just 354 votes after a mandatory recount amid a statewide GOP wave driven by President Donald Trump. Democrats expect to rebound in 2026 and view HD 93 as a strong flip opportunity.
So far, the HD 93 race is a two-person contest. The deadline for Senate and House candidates to qualify for the 2026 election is June 12.
The Primary is Aug. 18, followed by the General Election on Nov. 3.
