It is not illegal to get money from PAC’s but it could be morally questionable.
City Mayoral Candidate Sara Roberts McCarley has shattered the previous record for fundraising in a Lakeland mayoral race. As of Oct. 9, McCarley raised $81,675.
McCarley’s donor list includes roughly 140 contributors, with nearly 50 giving the maximum $1,000 allowed under state law.
She has received $1,000 donations from political committees, including:
Advancing Florida Agriculture, associated with Sen. Ben Albritton
Citizens for Solutions and Freedom and Liberty Fund, both chaired by Sen. Jason Brodeur
Defending Conservatism and Democracy, chaired by Sen. Danny Burgess
McCarley also received support from the campaign committees of Albritton, Sen. Colleen Burton, Rep. Jennifer Canady, and neighboring Sens. Jim Boyd and Joe Gruters.
