Ron DeSantis is about to make a mockery of campaign finance law
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) is a prolific fundraiser. Since announcing his candidacy in 2018, DeSantis has solicited funds for his eponymous state political committee, Friends of Ron DeSantis. Friends of Ron DeSantis can accept contributions in unlimited amounts — from individuals and corporations. DeSantis has taken advantage of Florida's permissive rules. Even after spending tens of millions on his election and reelection, he has amassed a war chest of nearly $86 million.

He filed a notice w/the state that he was “no longer associated with the political committee” and is no longer raising money for the committee directly or indirectly.

@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] 7. Under federal law, if DeSantis FUNDS Never Back Down through an entity he controls, like Friends of Ron DeSantis, it would subject Never Back Down to federal campaign finance limits, which would defeat the entire point.
But DeSantis thinks he's found a loophole.
