Florez endorsed Thompson in November and helped Thompson gather signatures on his nomination papers, Thompson said.
Thompson said he will make sure the money comes to his campaign legally.
County election rules limit the amount Thompson can take from a single source.
“He and (wife) Elsa can only give me $1,000,” Thompson said. “I know I can’t take over $1,000 a couple.”
Thompson is running against incumbent Supervisor Ray Watson in the June 3 primary election.
