DeSantis Campaign Press Release - DeSantis Launches National Finance Advisory Board and National Finance Committee

Roy Bailey, Nick Iarossi, Michael McClellan Named Co-Chairs

Tallahassee, FL - As he continues to accelerate his fundraising following debate victories over Gavin Newsom and the GOP field in recent weeks, Ron DeSantis today officially launched his National Finance Advisory Board and National Finance Committee. Both groups will continue the growing momentum of recent fundraising efforts and expand the campaign's fundraising apparatus across the country.

Last quarter, DeSantis raised an impressive $15 million, defying expectations from mainstream media and others who had decisively declared DeSantis' candidacy dead in the water. DeSantis' fundraising has grown even stronger in the current quarter, as the governor raised $2 million in 48 hours last month.

"I have never been more proud to support a candidate with the character, intelligence, integrity, and courage as Governor Ron DeSantis," said Co-Chairman Roy Bailey. "His love of faith, family, and country are his guiding lights, and he will always defend them to the end. Governor DeSantis has proven to be a great leader who not only has ideas of conviction, but one who executes his plan with precision and perseverance. It will be so wonderful for our great country to have a president that our children and grandchildren can admire."

"I am thrilled to help lead Ron DeSantis' National Finance Committee as we continue to work tirelessly to elect him the next President," said Co-Chairman Nick Iarossi. "Ron DeSantis is a proven leader and the only candidate in this race capable of winning big for Republicans, serving two terms, and implementing the conservative policies we need to reverse our nation's decline. The fundraising apparatus the campaign has built in the last few months has been historic, and we are excited to take it to the next level in the weeks and months ahead."

"In the past century of this nation's history, it is difficult to find a more impactful governor than my friend of twenty-five years, Ron DeSantis," said Co-Chairman Michael McClellan. "In a time when our nation faces grave challenges at home and abroad, we cannot afford the poor leadership and chaos of those who are not up to the job. Ron DeSantis uniquely possesses the talent, courage, and tenacity to revive our failing politics and lead our nation to a future we can be proud to hand our children. I'm working daily to help make him the next President of the United States."
