Electric utilities are one of the top sources of money and lobbying in Florida politics, spending nearly $80 million on political contributions alone from 2017-2025 according to a report from The CLEO institute. Some of that money has found its way into the pockets of Peter Schorsch. An invoice for advertising he shared with reporters from NPR shows that Florida Power & Light paid Schorsch at least $43,000 in 2021 alone.
