Ron DeSantis fundraiser co-hosted by Bud Light parent company lobbyist: invitation

Republican presidential candidate and Bud Light basher Ron DeSantis is scheduled to headline a fundraiser Friday hosted by Slater Bayliss, a registered Florida lobbyist for Bud Light’s parent company, Anheuser-Busch.

The event in Washington, D.C., costs a minimum $1,000 per person to attend and will benefit DeSantis' campaign according to an invitation obtained by Raw Story.

The address listed on the invitation is the D.C. office suite for Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck, a major law and lobbying firm that represents more than 250 corporate and special interests in the nation's capital, according to nonprofit research group OpenSecrets.

Bayliss, co-founder of The Advocacy Group at Cardenas Partners, is a power player in Florida politics. Earlier this month, Politico reported that the DeSantis “bud” has been a prominent bundler of campaign donors who gave, at one point, $242,600 to DeSantis campaign efforts.

Neither DeSantis nor Bayliss immediately responded to Raw Story’s request for comment.
