South Florida has become one of the most expensive places in
America to live. Working families, seniors, and young
professionals are being priced out of the communities they helped
build. It's time for our government to put people ahead of special
interests by focusing on an agenda that puts our families first.
Kendrick's priorities will be to implement policies that helps:

Too many South Floridians are struggling because of a lack of good
paying jobs and economic opportunity. More tax breaks to large
corporations and billionaires will not solve this problem for our
working family. South Florida's economy MUST work for workers—not
just the wealthy. Kendrick will fight to:

For most minority and immigrant communities, access to education
has led to greater opportunities in our communities. That is why
we believe every child deserves a quality education regardless of
where they live, skin color, and family educational history.
Kendrick's family's long history advocating for education means he
will continue to:

South Florida deserves communities where families are safe and our
children can ride bikes, visit playgrounds, and gather together
without fear of violence and harassment. We must reduce our
investment in prison and focus more on prevention and community
partnerships because good public safety requires both
accountability and opportunity.

Our basic freedoms and civil rights are under attack right now.
Through the court system and the legislative process, this is a
collective effort to silence Black voters, reduce Black political
representation and access to political power, and return Black
people living in the South to a Jim Crow era. That is why we must
fight to protect our freedom and civil rights while also
reimagining our country and our democratic system through a lens
of racial fairness. Kendrick will focus on our protections through
expanding:

By the state each donor wrote on the filing, across 25 states and territories. Donors who have given $200 or less this cycle are not itemized, so they cannot be placed on a map. The FEC’s grouping also counts joint-fundraising memo lines, so these rows can add up to more than the itemized total.
| Employer as filed | Amount |
|---|---|
| Written instead of an employer · 65 contributions · 21% of ranked | $101,320 |
| Written instead of an employer · 18 contributions · 6.4% of ranked | $30,800 |

A further $20,750 came from donors whose answer names no employer (N/A, None, blank), so it is not ranked. Itemized gifts over $200, grouped by the words donors filed: not an industry classification, and a gift from an employee is not a gift from the employer. The FEC’s grouping also counts joint-fundraising memo lines, so these rows can add up to more than the itemized total. Gifts of $200 or less ($125,715) are not itemized, so no employer or occupation is filed for them.
Money groups spent on their own, not through a campaign. Each ad is filed against the candidate it names, so money attacking an opponent shows on the opponent’s row. Open a candidate to see who spent it.
The campaign also refunded $14,020 in contributions, which the categories below do not include.
Total itemized disbursements $535,732
Every itemized payment the committee reported this cycle, sorted by what it said each one was for. The categories are ours; the wording they are matched against is the committee’s own. Open a category to read the filed descriptions and who was paid. FEC filings through Sep 30, 2026.
All 162 itemized payments filed this cycle. Spending below the itemization threshold is not filed line by line.
2 payments were reported as a lump sum, such as a card or payroll bill, with the detail filed underneath as memo entries. Those entries, $27,611 in all, are counted under the payee and purpose they name rather than under the processor that was paid. The total is the same either way.
| Name | Amount |
|---|---|
| 2 payments · 19% of all spending | $149,757 |
| 2 payments · 17% of all spending | $132,812 |
| 2 payments · 9.5% of all spending | $75,000 |

| 2 payments · 2.6% of all spending | $20,096 |
| 5 payments · 2.4% of all spending | $18,959 |
The people, firms and committees paid the most, across every kind of payment. Each share is of everything the committee reported spending this cycle, not only the itemized payments above. A payee that is itself a committee links to its own profile.
