March 25, 2021 at 1:30 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard
Politico: Buoyed by large donations from New York City billionaire Michael Bloomberg and a South Florida health care executive, Florida Democrats have stabilized their finances and are poised to move ahead with ambitious plans to expand their operations ahead of the 2022 elections.
Florida Democratic Party Chair Manny Diaz helped raise $2 million in the two months since he took over enough to let the party wipe out much of its debts. Party officials say that Bloomberg gave $500,000, while Mike Fernandez, who was once a large Republican donor before President Donald Trump was elected, kicked in $100,000.
