Money has been pouring into Democratic campaigns in two Florida special elections, boosting hope for the party in two solidly red districts.

Democrats Gay Valimont and Josh Weil, candidates for Florida’s 1st and 6th congressional districts, respectively, have raised more than $16 million. The cash haul is outpacing their Republican opponents, who have brought in millions less — $3.1 million combined.
