State Rep. CYNDI STEVENSON (R-FL17) Hires Fundraiser Samantha Blair

On June 25, 2021, the re-election campaigns of failed Florida State Representative CYNTHIA WARD "CYNDI" STEVENSON (R-District 17, St. Augustine) paid $1000 to hire a fundraiser to raise money for her 2022 re-election campaign.  

Full disclosure: I have filed to run against STEVENSON as a Democrat.

From Linked-IN, here's the entry on the fundraiser, CAPITAL CAMPAIGN GROUP's SAMANTHA BLAIR, formerly a cheerleader for Tampa Bay Bucaeeers NFL team:

Recommendations received

  • “I worked with Samantha as a peer for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. She is an amazing team mate! Her hard work and dedication to the team does not go unnoticed. Whatever she puts her mind to she can achieve!”

  • “Sam has been a long time friend who I reached out to about 2 years ago when I moved down to Tampa and I needed help finding a place to live. Never having lived in the area, I gave her some pretty basic criteria for the types of places I would consider and she drew up a detailed strategy and timeline for the search. Incredibly responsive (which was important to me) and diligent. I will use Sam again, and I recommend to anyone looking in the area.”

  • “Samantha is one of the most charismatic, detailed and driven individuals that I have had the pleasure of working with. Her skills span several functions and industries giving her an incredible perspective on projects that she works on. In working with Sam, I can confidently say she has a strong business acumen to succeed in any venture she embarks on and would never hesitate to work with her again. ”

  • “Samantha was a mentor to me during my freshman year at Florida State University through the Freshman Foundation branch of the FSU Student Foundation. Sam was a committed leader and very approachable. Her leadership helped the Student Foundation get on its feet and personally I would not have been as involved in the university if it were not for her guidance.”

  • “Samantha was one of the most proactive and engaging members of the Student Foundation at The Florida State University. During the time as a Trustee, Samantha was in charge of developing the "Freshman Foundation" - a smaller scale version of the Student Foundation that would expose incoming Freshmen into the importance of philanthropy and why the role of the Student Foundation was so crucial for Florida State. Samantha's role at the Student Foundation was crucial for iits success on its first year!”

  • “I have known Samantha Harper as a fellow Student Senator in the FSU Student Government Association for over a year’s time. I worked closely with Samantha on the Budget Committee and saw her participation in our group was fantastic. She was well organized and a true professional in helping our committee maintain and allocate a $12.4 million budget. As a Student Senator she represented her undergraduate constituents well. Samantha also participated in the many other aspects of the FSU Student Government Association, including running many successful student government campaigns. She is a driven and determined individual and will be a great asset to any company she considers to join.”

  • “Samantha is a very driven individual. She was always passionate about her work and working within the team. She used her creative abiltiies to think outside the box when brainstorming for events and fundraisers to host. She can excel in any work atmosphere and can add value to any company.”
