DeSantis Turns To Big Money Romney Advisors for Help
The National Pulse ^ | JAKE WELCH

Governor of Florida Ron DeSantis is turning to Mitt Romney‘s former advisor, Emil Henry, for financial support in an effort to save his beleaguered 2024 presidential campaign.

Henry, CEO of the private equity firm Tiger Infrastructure Partners, will host a fund-raising lunch event on Thursday for the Florida Governor, charging a whopping $11,600 for admission. Henry, a long-term “moderate” Republican fundraiser, worked for the Romney on his 2012 presidential campaign, and as the assistant secretary of the Treasury in the George W. Bush administration.

DeSantis participated in a $11,600 per person breakfast on Thursday, alongside Republican fundraisers including David Blumberg, who has already donated over $60,000 to the Florida Governor, and Mark Gerson, who has similarly donated tens of thousands to DeSantis. Attendees will also required to make a minimum $1,500 campaign donation.

The Florida Governor’s campaign has relied heavily on corporate donors and D.C. Republican figures to raise capital after his campaign ranked eighth in grassroots, small-dollar donations earlier this summer. He is also having to re-raise the vast amounts his campaign has burned through without seeing any political gain.
