Ron DeSantis-tied committee spends big on Georgia Ritz-Carlton retreat as it fights pot, abortion initiatives in Florida
Will a six-figure campaign event at a Georgia resort help defeat two Florida constitutional amendments this Fall?
The Florida Freedom Fund, a committee opposing initiatives to legalize recreational marijuana and restore abortion access, blew through nearly $116,000 between Aug. 31 and Sept. 6, even though it raised just over $41,000 in the same time.
Nearly all of that spending covered lodging and event space at The Ritz-Carlton Reynolds, Lake Oconee, in Greensboro, Georgia. That spend, reported on Sept. 5, constitutes nearly $115,000 in campaign expenditures, more than a third of the total campaign expenses since the committee launched in May.
That most recent fundraising report marks the second time since launch that the campaign’s expenditures exceeded its intake, and the first time the difference was more than $1,000.
