Presidential candidate and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis will stop in Fort Worth next week during a three-day fundraising tour across Texas.

DeSantis will make an appearance at an 8:30 a.m. breakfast June 8 at Fort Worth City Club. General admission tickets are $3,300 per person and $6,600 for couples and host committee members, according to a copy of an invitation obtained by the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

The invitation lists Steve Brauer Jr., Tara and Cody Campbell, Dee Kelly, Hal Lambert, Kit Moncrief, Therese and Tom Moncrief and Tracy and John Sellers as event hosts.

DeSantis will also make an appearance in Midland on June 7 and will also stop in Dallas and Houston on June 8. He’ll be in The Woodlands and Austin on June 9.

Among the host committee members at the other visits include some of the state’s top Republican donors.

The Florida Republican is facing off against former president Donald Trump, former South Carolina governor Nikki Haley and South Carolina senator Tim Scott in the 2024 race.
