Rep. Jason Shoaf is calling attendees to his Labor Day weekend fundraiser after a lobbyist in attendance tested positive for COVID-19.

The event, billed as “Rep. Shoaf Port St. Joe Weekend,” saw members board scalloping boats, enjoy a family dinner at Shoaf’s home and explore Port St. Joe. All throughout, the first-term Representative said they took precautions to prevent the spread of the novel disease.

“First and foremost, the health and safety of my friends, supporters and colleagues is that of utmost importance,” Shoaf said in a statement to Florida Politics Wednesday. “Know that, when we were fortunate to host a number of folks in my district over the holiday weekend, we took every effort to keep them safe and well.”

Guests arrived Friday evening and checked out Monday morning from either Port Inn or Mainstay Suites.

So far, everyone that has taken a rapid test has returned negative, the Representative said.

3. Sounds like the health and safety of his guests wasn't quite of the utmost importance

But once the fundraising was done, then Jason was all about the health and the safety.
