Donalds, the only Black member of the ultraconservative Freedom Caucus, who was nominated to challenge Kevin McCarthy’s Speakership, is considering a run for governor in Florida.
Donalds began his professional career in 2003 as a credit analyst at TIB Bank. He was promoted to senior credit analyst in 2004, and later promoted to commercial credit manager, assistant vice president, and credit manager. Donalds left TIB Bank in 2007 and took a position as a portfolio manager at CMG Surety LLC. In 2015, he joined Wells Fargo Advisors as a Financial Advisor.
After Donalds became involved in the Tea Party movement, he was encouraged to run for office. In 2012, Donalds was a candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives in Florida’s 19th congressional district. He finished fifth of six candidates. In 2014, he was reported as a likely candidate for the U.S. House in Florida’s 19th congressional district after Trey Radel resigned, but did not run. Donalds was elected to the Florida House of Representatives in 2016. During his Florida House tenure, he chaired the Insurance and Banking Subcommittee.
He got a job a bank and fucked around with other people’s money for about 10 years and signed up with the Tea Party. That’s a hell of a resume.
In 1997, Donalds was arrested for marijuana distribution; the charges were dropped as part of a pre-trial diversion program. In 2000, he pleaded no contest to a felony bribery charge as part of a scheme to defraud a bank.
