  • Thousands of dollars from multiple realtor Political Action Committees in Tallahassee and Orlando

  • Thousands of dollars from SW Florida RE developers and their consultants and lawyers

  • Thousands of dollars from non-City voters and non-City of Naples residents

You can read about this PAC here. It describes itself this way:

“In politics, money talks, and Florida Realtors PAC gives us a voice. When Realtors speak through Florida Realtors PAC, Tallahassee listens. And the more money Florida Realtors PAC raises, the louder we speak.” (accessed March 14, 2019 at https://pac.floridarealtors.org/about-florida-realtors-pac/)
