FL-GOV: Florida GOP governor candidate created Tinder account 'to meet young female voters where they are'
Florida Republican gubernatorial candidate James Fishback said Monday he joined the dating app Tinder to meet young female voters in the state.
Fishback, 31, wrote on the social platform X that he joined Tinder “to meet young female voters where they are, and share my plan to make it easier for them to get married, buy a home, and raise a family.” He also shared a screenshot of his Tinder profile, on which he said his “hottest take” is that Florida “should offer paid maternity leave to all moms.”
Half an hour later, Fishback wrote on X that he “ran out of likes” and asked for donations so he could subscribe to Tinder Plus, which gives users unlimited likes and the ability to see who has liked their profile.
Fishback, an investor and hedge fund manager, is running in the GOP primary to succeed term-limited Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R). A survey conducted by Patriot Polling from Jan. 19-29 found that more than 22 percent of likely primary voters said they were more likely to back Fishback, as opposed to more than 37 percent who said they were more likely to support Rep. Byron Donalds (R-Fla.) — the front-runner in the race whom President Trump endorsed last year.
