Original Note:
The DeSantis team did not pay the evangelical, much less for an endorsement. Instead, his campaign and some supporting orgs paid the Family Leader Foundation $95k to attend the Family Leadership Summit and buy ads at it. Other candidates also paid to advertise at the event. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/desantis-his-backers-paid-95000-iowa-religious-leaders-group-documents-show-2023-08-12/ https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/desantis-pac-donation-ad-space-religious-forum
