In the Money

Republican Adam Hasner is the incumbant of Florida House district 87. Hasner is the House Majority leader. According to Follow the Money, Hasner has raised more coin than any other House candidate. His total is $317,702.

Lawyers & Lobbyists - $32,616
Party Committees - $31,917
Health Professionals - $13,050

Hasner received $500 donations from Appliance Direct, Appliance Direct I, Appliance Direct V, Appliance Direct VI, Appliance Direct VII, Appliance Direct X, Appliance Direct XI, Appliance Direct XII, Appliance Direct XIII, and Appliance Direct XIV. All these businesses are at the address 397 N Babcock St, Melbourne, FL. Contributors create several dummy companies to get around campaign finance laws. My feeling is such laws as McCain-Feingold have created a bigger mess. Money is not going to stay out of politics. What is needed is transparency.

Fun fact: Hasner wants to be called "Leader Hasner." I'm not making that up.
