    NEW: Florida's Democratic Ag Commissioner Nikki Fried is a close friend of Matt Gaetz.

        Their friendship dates back at least to Fried's time as a medical marijuana lobbyist in Tallahassee when Gaetz was serving in the Florida House, according to six Florida political operatives who spoke to Insider on condition of anonymity to protect professional relationships.

        Fried's ties to Gaetz could complicate her political future. If she decides to run against DeSantis in a potentially crowded Democratic field, Fried's relationship with Gaetz & some of his GOP allies could quickly become prime fodder for attacks, including from fellow Democrats.

        "Anybody who has ambitions for higher office or even to be reelected, which Nikki clearly does, would be out of their mind if they didn't distance themselves from Matt Gaetz," said Mac Stipanovich, a longtime Florida Republican strategist who's now an independent.

        Fried has also engaged on social media with Joel Greenberg, a former Florida tax collector and Gaetz friend who's at the center of the sex scandal now engulfing Gaetz.

        Greenberg tweeted a picture of Fried's image on a gas pump in 2019, writing, "Oh hey there @nikkifried. Making gas pumps more pleasant since '19." Fried responded with an eyeballs emoji.
