Florida Republicans told to 'get tested' after lobbyist who attended their fundraiser now positive f

A Florida lobbyist who attended a recent Republican fundraiser near Jacksonville has tested positive for COVID-19.

The lobbyist attended a reception at the Ponte Vedra Inn and Club on Thursday.

House Speaker-designate Chris Sprowls confirmed the situation.

“I have called every member present and we are in the process of calling every attendee to notify them. We are encouraging all of them to self-quarantine and/or get tested as soon as possible. While there were precautions made available, further gatherings in the near future have been canceled,” Sprowls said.

Among those in attendance were Sprowls, future House Speaker Paul Renner, Reps. Cord Byrd, Wyman Duggan, Elizabeth Fetterhoff, Jason Fischer, Tom Leek and Clay Yarborough as well as House District 18 candidate Sam Garrison and a handful of lobbyists.
