Even though Democrat Alex Sink once called former Gov. Charlie Crist a disaster, the Republican-turned-Democrat still donated $1,000 to her House campaign, according to finance records reported on by the Tampa Bay Times.

Sink, who narrowly lost against current Florida Gov. Rick Scott (R) in 2010, is now running for the late Rep. C.W. Bill Young’s (R-FL) House seat.

In an interview with the Tampa Bay Times in June Sink, who was deciding whether to run for governor, described Crist as a “disaster.” She also criticized Scott saying “this governor’s incompetent.”

A few days earlier Sink reported out-fundraising all her Republican opponents in the special election for Young’s congressional seat.
