A photo of Rawson, who is expected to win a seat in the Florida statehouse, shows him standing near James Alex Fields Jr. Not long after the photo was taken, Fields drove his car into counterprotesters, injuring dozens of people and killing Heather Heyer. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/florida...

@letsgomathias.bsky.social found that Rawson's donors include -the League of the South's Florida chapter leader -the caretaker for the childhood home of Confederate Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest -a former lawyer for the KKK -a white nationalist publishing house talkingpointsmemo.com/news/florida...

Police officer Josh Doggrell lost his job over his involvement in League of the South. He gave Rawson’s campaign $100: “I believe he is a fine man and will do a great job as a legislator" Doggrell is now a lieutenant w/Alabama's Calhoun County Sheriff’s Office talkingpointsmemo.com/news/florida...

And Sam Dickson, the former KKK lawyer who became a leading figure in multiple white supremacist groups, including the Council of Conservative Citizens and the National Policy Institute, gave $1,000 to Rawson’s campaign. Here's why: talkingpointsmemo.com/news/florida...

After Rawson won his primary to represent Florida's House District 10, the state GOP congratulated him on X. “Ready to fight for North Florida and keep our state strong and free. Looking forward to a BIG win!” talkingpointsmemo.com/news/florida...
