The Zeros
These Florida leaders routinely prioritized corporate greed – wasteful tax breaks and giveaways to the wealthiest and most powerful corporations – at the direct expense of the needs of everyday Floridians.
= 0% Score and Super zero status!*
The Receipts
How did we determine who was a Hero vs. a Zero? We looked at whether these lawmakers supported or opposed the following bills and amendments.
A note about the state budget:
The state budget includes millions lost to corporate giveaways and perks, alongside consumer tax relief and community-based projects. For that reason we cannot rank the budget as standalone votes; however, it is important to remember that Legislative Leadership ultimately decides the recurring corporate tax breaks and annual consumer-centered tax relief policies in the bill.

Who's Pulling The Strings?
Corporate donors and front groups like these have made the Florida Legislature the “best legislature money can buy.” They ensure their narrow agenda – putting their profit margins over the needs of everyday Floridians – is what gets heard in the state capitol.
