Miami-Dade Commissioner Natalie Milian Orbis added nearly $207,000 last quarter toward defending her District 6 seat.<\/p>\n
That haul, combined with Milian Orbis\u2019 fundraising since her appointment to the seat<\/a> in early May 2025, brings her total gains to more than $758,000 between her campaign account<\/a> and political committee, Dade Families First<\/a>.<\/p>\n 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 \u2014 a strong war chest, considering she\u2019s still unopposed.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m really grateful to the residents, friends, and families who continue to support our campaign,\u201d Milian Orbis said in a statement.<\/p>\n \u201cReaching 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.\u201d<\/p>\n Milian Orbis\u2019 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.<\/p>\n She also received $9,000 from general contractors NV2A Group and $10,000 apiece from Midtown Development, Legacy Residential<\/a>-tied TMC Naranja 66 Holdings, charter school company Lincoln Marti Schools<\/a> and Dade County Firefighters Local 1403<\/a>.<\/p>\n Miami-Dade Commissioner Rob Gonzalez, a fellow Republican, gave Milian Orbis $6,000 through his political committee, America First Florida First<\/a>.<\/p>\n
