I did digging and traced the donation from stoney stark llc tony stark llc and other llc named after movie characters to one guy under florida law, he can only donate up to a thousand bucks of his own money to a campaign. But he can donate a thousand more dollars from each of the llcs. So far between all of them, the total is around 9,000 dollars. A loophole you might say. Reporter he doesnt see it that way. He job and we want to make sure he has the best shot at it. Reporter belly townsend says he is glad the campaign is getting the money but would be open to Campaign Finance reform.

In lakeland grady trimble, reflects florida election law. He is spending more than 50,000 dollars of his money on his campaign. One week from tonight, Election Results will be rolling in across the country. Until
