DeSantis took $100,000 from Disney before feuding with company. Will he give it back?
Tallahassee Democrat (https://www.tallahassee.com/story/news/politics/2022/04/29/disney-big-contributor-florida-governor-ron-desantis-before-public-feud/9573769002/)
Gov. Ron DeSantis has attacked Disney as a “woke” company that has exerted “inappropriate influence” in Florida, but until recently he was happy to accept the company’s campaign contributions and doesn’t appear eager to give them back.
DeSantis’ political committee received three contributions from Disney totaling $100,000 and a $6,809 in-kind contribution for “food and beverage,” likely catering for a fundraiser or some other campaign event. Disney gave DeSantis $50,000 in 2019 and $50,000 in 2021.
The governor’s relationship with the company changed in early March when Disney’s CEO publicly opposed HB 1557, legislation officially known as the Parental Rights in Education Act but dubbed by critics the “Don’t Say Gay” bill.

Yet while DeSantis repeatedly has criticized Disney since then, and also has fought back with legislation punishing the company, there is no indication he has refunded the company’s contributions, as some other GOP lawmakers have.
The governor’s political committee didn’t issue any refunds to Disney in March, according to campaign finance data posted on the Florida Division of Elections website.
April campaign finance data is not available yet through the Division of Elections, but the governor’s committee has data through April 22 posted on its own website, and doesn’t list any refunds to Disney as of that date.
DeSantis recently took aim at Disney’s self-governing status, accusing the company of getting a “sweetheart deal — negotiated and preserved for decades by the powerful.”

The governor pushed through legislation last week in just 48 hours that dissolves the Reedy Creek Improvement District, which was established by the state in 1967 and gives Disney wide control over what happens on its properties spanning 25,000 acres.
The effort to punish Disney also involved repealing a “carve out” the company received that exempts it from legislation targeting alleged censorship by Big Tech companies. The governor’s own staff helped push for it in response to requests from Disney, according to emails obtained by the Seeking Rents newsletter.
Disney has not issued any public statements since DeSantis signed the Reedy Creek bill into law.

Disney has donated millions to Florida lawmakers and political parties over the years and has enjoyed favored status in Florida, often getting what it wants from elected officials.
The company recently announced it was suspending political contributions in Florida.
Some GOP lawmakers have refunded their Disney contributions, including state Rep. Joe Harding, who sponsored HB 1557, and state Rep. Randy Maggard.
