Each election year, all eyes focus on the Sunshine State, where Florida voters are always expected to vote in key battleground contests. This cycle was no different, with Floridians deciding races that will shape their state for years to come. In addition to the candidates who place their names on the ballot, political action committees also play a major role in Florida’s elections, backing candidates and measures up and down the ballot. Here is a look at the ten top PACs, ranked by donations received in Florida’s 2020 state-level elections, as of the most recently available data.

1. Republican Party of Florida

The Republican Party of Florida is again number one on the list of the top PACs in Florida, reporting $41,763,064 in contributions. The Republican Party of Florida supports Republican candidates up and down the ballot in Florida.

2. Florida Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee

The Florida Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee is next up on the list, following the state party organization, reporting $37,934,015 in contributions. The Florida Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee’s primary goal is to elect Republicans to Florida’s State Senate.

3. Florida Democratic Party

The Florida Democratic Party has increased its fundraising this cycle, becoming the third highest-raising PAC in Florida with $13,582,638.20 in contributions. The Florida Democratic Party’s main goal is to help elect Democrats across the state.

4. Florida Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee

The Florida Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee is close behind the FDP, making a late-cycle appearance on the Top 10 list for 2020. Florida Senate Victory, as the Florida DLCC is known, received $13,198,081 in total donations toward its goals of defending “incumbent Democratic Senators and work[ing] to elect more Democrats to the Florida Senate.”

5. Forward Majority Action Florida

With $11,445,000 in donations, the Florida arm of the federal Forward Majority Action PAC worked to flip the Florida State House of Representatives blue. Although ultimately unsuccessful in 2020, the PAC’s financial support still landed them in fifth place for overall PAC donations.

Keep Our Constitution Clean PC is next up on the list of the top ten PACs in Florida, with $9,010,146 in contributions reported. Keep Our Constitution Clean PC supported Florida Amendment 4 in this year’s election, which would have changed the process for adding amendments to the Florida Constitution.

Amendment 4 did not pass on November 3, 2020, receiving just under 48 percent of the vote.

Make It Legal Florida takes its place among the top PACs in the state with $8,369,564 in contributions.

10. All Voters Vote, Inc.

All Voters Vote, Inc. is next up on the list of the top ten PACs with $7,737,825 in contributions.

Amendment 3 failed to receive the support of at least 60 percent of voters, which would have been required for passage.
