Looking at campaign spending in Florida
In a year with an unprecedented amount of campaign spending, it should come as no surprise that legislative races are becoming more expensive.
Yesterday, the Florida Herald-Tribune looked at the amount of money spent by lawmakers in the state in 2008:
According to the Florida Division of Elections, the 316 candidates who ran for the 120 seats in the House spent a combined $29.7 million. The 50 candidates running for the larger Senate districts spent a combined $11.9 million.
The paper calculated that the average House race cost $94,000, while an average Senate race cost $238,000.
