Florida’s Seminole Tribe has backed Governor Ron DeSantis’ re-election bid to the tune of $1m this month, according to a new finance report.
The operator forged a new gaming compact with DeSantis last year, permitting it to accept online wagers, but this was soon struck down by a federal judge.
However, the tribe’s support of Florida’s governor has not wavered, according to new information released by Friends of Ron DeSantis – his re-election committee.
The Seminole Tribe made a $1m contribution to the incumbent governor’s political committee on 1 August, which has received more than $2m in total this month – or at least up to 11 August, the latest date covered.
