Growing list of endorsements, grassroots support, and community engagement signal a campaign and a candidate ready to deliver change.
PORT ST. LUCIE, FL (July 28, 2026). Democratic congressional candidate Bernard Taylor continues to build extraordinary momentum in Florida's 21st Congressional District, announcing that his campaign has now raised more than $1 million from supporters who are ready for a new generation of leadership in Washington.
Just weeks after reporting an impressive second quarter fundraising total, Taylor's campaign has continued to gain financial support from thousands of everyday Americans who believe Congress should work for working families instead of special interests. The milestone reflects one of the strongest grassroots fundraising efforts in the district and demonstrates growing confidence in Taylor's message of accountability, economic opportunity, quality healthcare, stronger public education, environmental stewardship, and government that puts people first.
"Our campaign has always been about people," said Taylor. "Crossing the $1 million mark is not simply about fundraising. It is proof that voters throughout our district and across the country believe it is time for leaders who understand the struggles of everyday Americans because we've lived them. As a firefighter, EMT, husband, father, and lifelong Floridian, I know what working families face every day, and I'm ready to fight for them in Congress."
Taylor's campaign has also earned the backing of a growing coalition of respected advocacy organizations and progressive leaders who share his vision for a more equitable and accountable government. Recent endorsements include:
- Track AIPAC
- People's Voice United PAC
- American Small Business League
- Palm Beach County Human Rights Council
- Epstein Justice
- Democratic Progressive Caucus of Florida
- Florida Rising
- Florida LGBTQ+ Democratic Caucus
- Democratic Environmental Caucus of Florida
- Florida High School Democrats
- Progressive Victory
- Progressive Democrats of America
These endorsements represent advocates for democracy, civil rights, environmental protection, small businesses, working families, and community empowerment. Together, they reinforce the growing belief that Bernard Taylor is the candidate prepared to bring practical leadership and meaningful change to Florida's 21st Congressional District.
Beyond the campaign trail, Taylor remains deeply committed to serving his community. On Saturday, August 1, 2026, he will host one of the region's largest community celebrations during the Back-to-School Jam 2026, featuring a special guest appearance by multi-platinum recording artist Flo Rida.
