Rick Scott Spent Record $64 Million of His Own Money in Florida Senate Race [1]

[]

Date: 2018-12-10  

Florida Gov. Rick Scott will become the most junior member of the Senate next month after the 116th Congress is sworn in after defeating three-term Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson. But that victory won without a steep price tag.

Scott spent a record $63.6 million of his own money on his campaign to oust Nelson and turn the Florida Senate delegation all red, according to his most recent Federal Elections Commission report.

That’s more than three quarters of his entire fundraising haul for the cycle of nearly $85 million.

When he jumped into the race in April, Scott indicated that no personal check would be too large to write for his campaign.

“I’m going to do whatever I can to win this election,” he said at the time.
