John Legend hosting big-ticket fundraiser for Monique Worrell
nternational superstar John Legend will perform a private, online concert Saturday night as part of a fundraiser for Democrat Monique Worrell‘s run for Orlando State Attorney, with tickets being offered for as high as $10,0o0 apiece.
Worrell’s campaign is distributing tickets for donations ranging from $250 to $1,000. Her independent political committee, Fighting for Justice, is soliciting donations in the range of $1,000 to $10,000 for its batch of tickets.
Legend’s entry into the campaign (he offered his endorsement earlier this month) is just one of many from national figures weighing in with Worrell in the State Attorney’s race for Florida’s 9th Judicial Circuit.
The outside support has drawn exasperation from her three Democratic primary opponents seeking election top prosecutor for Orange and Osceola counties. They’ve relied more on traditional means to finance a State Attorney election campaign, like getting local lawyers to back them.
On August 18 Worrell faces former JC 9 Chief Judge Belvin Perry Jr., current JC 9 Chief Assistant State Attorney Deborah Barra, and JC 5 Assistant State Attorney Ryan Williams, a former JC 9 assistant state attorney, for the Democratic nomination. The winner faces independent candidate Jose Torroella in the November general election to see who succeeds outgoing State Attorney Aramis Ayala.
