David Di Pietro, Broward Health Chair & GOP Powerhouse, Endorses Donald Trump

Broward Health Chair David Di Pietro has taken time out from the scandal enveloping the public health system to endorse Donald Trump.

One of South Florida’s leading GOP fund raiser and strategist, Di Pietro signed a pledge card for Trump, which is reproduced below.

“I’m with Trump! It’s true,” Di Pietro e-mailed Browardbeat.com.

Di Pietro is one of the most formidable local insiders to join Trump.  He was  Mitt Romney’s Broward chair four years ago and has raised thousands of dollars for numerous candidates across the state.

In Broward, he was instrumental in the re-election in 2014 of Broward’s only Republican County Commissioner, Chip LaMarca.   He calls LaMarca “a close friend.”

He is also friendly with Gov. Rick Scott, who appointed him to the governing board of the $1 billion-plus Broward Health, the public health system for the northern two thirds of the county.  Scott also appointed his wife Nina Di Pietro to the Broward County Court last year.
