James Reyes, Joe Sanchez lead Primary fundraising for Sheriff, but Donald Trump endorses another

Public Safety Chief James Reyes and Florida Highway Patrol Trooper Joe Sanchez led their respective Democratic and Republican Primary opponents in fundraising last quarter for Miami-Dade Sheriff.

But a nod from former President Donald Trump went to another candidate.

Reyes led 16 others from both sides of the aisle with almost $378,000 in gains. Sanchez placed second, ahead of all GOP hopefuls, with $212,500 in the bag.

But it was third-place fundraiser Rosie Cordero-Stutz, an Assistant Miami-Dade Police Director, who received a “Complete and Total Endorsement” from Trump on Truth Social.

Her campaign for Sheriff also raised $106,000 last quarter.
