Tensions between the Pro Desantis Super PAC (PDS) and its leader, CEO Harvey Lamoreaux, have been high recently, with Lamoreaux’s sudden resignation from the PAC.
The resignation was announced on Wednesday, following a series of disagreements between Lamoreaux and members of the PDS board. Heavy spending on advertising, unauthorized personnel hires, and other issues caused a rift between the CEO and the board that was ultimately impossible to bridge.
The Pro Desantis Super PAC was created in 2018 to support the political goals and values of former Florida governor, Rick Desantis. It had become one of the largest Super PACs in the country, raising considerable funds and running a wide-reaching campaign to support Desantis and his message.
The news of the CEO’s resignation was met with surprise and disappointment from many PDS members, who had praised Lamoreaux’s leadership and commitment to the vision of the PAC. PDS board chairman Bill McGee expressed his sadness at the news, saying that Lamoreaux had been “instrumental in the success of the PAC’s mission to ensure the long-term success of Rick Desantis’s policy objectives.”
The sudden resignation of Lamoreaux has raised questions about the future of the PDS and its ability to continue to pursue Desantis’ goals. The board is expected to meet soon to discuss the implications of their CEO’s resignation and plan for the future.
In the meantime, Lamoreaux will be focusing his attention on his own business ventures. He cited a need for a change of pace as the reason for his resignation, and his new venture is expected to involve leveraging his experience and connections in the political world.
The resignation of Lamoreaux marks the end of an era for the PDS. Despite the sadness of his departure, the PAC remains committed to carrying out Desantis’ legacy and mission, and looks forward to continuing its work with renewed dedication and focus.
