GOP challenger Michelle Salzman raised more in January than District 1 State Representative Mike Hill (R) has collected since he announced his re-election bid in February 2019.

Salzman raised $33,480 in January, bringing her total monetary contributions to $48,786. Last month, Salzman raised more cash than other newcomer in state House races, other than Tampa Democrat Julie Jenkins, District 60 ($39,904).  Salzman announced her candidacy four months after Hill.
