Andy Thomson is continuing to flex fundraising muscle in the Boca Raton Mayor’s race, clearing the $400,000 mark.

New campaign finance reports show Thomson raised more than $18,000 during the fourth quarter through his official campaign account, while his political committee, Running with Andy Thomson, collected $114,000 over the same period.

Building on previous fundraising success, the campaign has raised nearly $407,000 across both accounts. And all of the money has come from outside contributors, not personal loans.

“This fundraising milestone reflects the deep community support behind our campaign and the strength of a truly grassroots effort,” Thomson said in a statement.

Thomson is competing in a three-person race to lead the city. Businessman Mike Liebelson and Boca Raton Deputy Mayor Fran Nachlas are also running.

Nachlas eclipsed the $400,000 mark in a previous report, but that included $100,000 in candidate loans. She added just under $30,000 via her campaign account last quarter and another $31,000 via her political committee.

Liebelson, meanwhile, has raised just under $5,300 and has also added a $50,000 candidate loan.

Thomson, a lawyer, served in Seat A on the Boca Raton City Council from 2018 to 2022 and was elected to Seat D in 2024.

In addition to his latest fundraising haul, Thomson’s campaign announced a new endorsement from the public safety sector. Boca Raton Firefighters, Local 1560, has formally backed his bid for Mayor.

“For as long as I have served Boca Raton, public safety has been my top priority, and that will never change,” Thomson said.

“Our firefighters and first responders put their lives on the line every day to protect Boca Raton families. As Mayor, I will always stand with them, ensure they have the resources they need, and keep Boca Raton safe for everyone who calls it home.”

The candidates are running to succeed Mayor Scott Singer, who is facing term limits. The Boca Raton election takes place on March 10.
