    In April 2019, Raymond Paultre became the chairman of Florida for All. 1 Paultre had previously worked as Northeast Florida’s field director for the 2012 Barrack Obama presidential campaign, as a consultant for the 2016 Hillary Clinton presidential campaign, and as an adviser to Stephen Bittel’s successful campaign for chair of the Florida Democratic Party. 2
