Press release from Chase Brannan for Florida House District 10

MACCLENNY, Fla. – Republican Florida House District 10 candidate Chase Brannan has announced that his campaign has topped the field in fundraising, with the majority of contributions coming from within District 10 and surrounding communities — a reflection of strong local momentum across Baker, Bradford, Columbia, Alachua, and Union counties.

Brannan also added four new North Florida mayors to his growing list of endorsements: Starke Mayor Andy Redding, Raiford Mayor Lamar Griffis, High Springs Mayor Tristan Grunder, and Lake Butler Mayor Melissa Hendrix.

“This campaign is powered by North Florida,” Brannan said. “Our support comes from friends, neighbors, and families who care deeply about their communities and the future of our region. I’m honored to have the backing of these outstanding mayors and so many local leaders who believe in our shared values of service, hard work, and integrity.”

Brannan said his campaign’s fundraising strength and widespread local support and endorsements demonstrate growing momentum across District 10 and a shared desire for strong, homegrown leadership.

“Leading the field in fundraising isn’t just about dollars — it’s about direction,” Brannan added. “People across our district want someone who will fight for our small towns, defend law enforcement, protect agriculture, and preserve the values that make North Florida home.”

The campaign is also endorsed by Macclenny Mayor Mark Bryant and Lake City Mayor Noah Walker, adding to a growing coalition of municipal leaders backing Brannan’s bid for the Florida House.

With broad support from local officials, community leaders, and law enforcement, Brannan’s campaign continues to build momentum heading into 2026. Brannan’s campaign now boasts 42 public endorsements spanning all five counties in District 10 — from local mayors and sheriffs to state and regional leaders — underscoring the depth of support behind his message to keep Fighting for North Florida.
