Colodny, Fass, Talenfeld, Karlinsky & Abate, P.A. © 2010 All Rights Reserved www.cftlaw.com CONFIDENTIAL Florida Election Cycle Post-Primary Fundraising Totals Update 2009-2010 Florida’s 2010 Election Cycle is developing into one of the most active campaign seasons in the State’s history. Florida Governor Charlie Crist (NPA) has announced he will run for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Senator Mel Martinez (R) and thus, will not seek re- election as Governor. Governor Crist appointed his former chief of staff, George LeMieux (R) to serve out the rest of Martinez’s Senate term. Senator LeMieux (R) already has announced that he will not seek election to the seat once his term ends in November 2010. However, it is rumored that he will challenge incumbent U.S. Senator Bill Nelson (D) in November 2012. The decision of Governor Crist to run for U.S. Senate will cause all four Florida Cabinet positions to be open for the first time in 120 years. Florida’s Cabinet is comprised of Governor, Attorney General, Chief Financial Officer and Commissioner of Agriculture and Consumer Services. A number of State Legislators have vacated their respective House and Senate seats in the quest for these open Cabinet posts, causing a political “domino” effect. In addition to those lawmakers seeking Cabinet seats, a number of Representatives are leaving their seats to run for the Senate. These factors, plus a large number of legislators facing term limits, creates a year where more than three-quarters of Florida’s Legislature are on the 2010 ballot. Collectively, these prevailing factors are expected to produce high levels of campaign activity throughout Florida. Colodny, Fass, Talenfeld, Karlinsky & Abate hopes you will find this report informative and will be able to use it as a tool to follow Florida’s 2010 election cycle. Our final 2010 report will include November 2, 2010 General Election results from races across the state for the Cabinet and State Legislature, as well as Florida’s United States Senate and Congressional races. 3 This Report and the information it contains is confidential and only intended for the recipient.

Colodny, Fass, Talenfeld, Karlinsky & Abate, P.A. © 2010 All Rights Reserved www.cftlaw.com CONFIDENTIAL Republican Party of Florida Former Oviedo City Council member Jim Greer had been the Chairman of the Republican Party of Florida (“RPOF”) since 2006. Greer announced his resignation after he received criticism from a group of elected officials, party leaders and major donors. The criticism surrounded excessive spending and his public endorsement of Governor Crist in the U.S. Senate Primary against former Florida House Speaker Marco Rubio (R). Former Speaker of the House and current State Senator John Thrasher (R) was appointed as the new chair of the RPOF. He was challenged by National Committeewoman Sharon Day, but won the vote with a large majority. Florida Democratic Party Former Congresswoman Karen Thurman has been the elected Chair of the Florida Democratic Party since 2005. From 1993-2003, she represented Florida's 5th Congressional District and was only the sixth woman to serve on the powerful House Ways and Means Committee in its 200-plus year history. Thurman first became involved with government in her hometown of Dunnellon. While working as a math teacher at Dunnellon Middle School, her students encouraged her to run for a vacant seat on the Dunnellon City Council. She won that race and went on to serve seven years on the Council, including two terms as mayor. In 1982, at the age of 31, she won her election to the Florida State Senate. The Republican and Democratic parties have the ability to raise “soft” money without contribution limits. This money can be spent on either Cabinet or Legislative races. Below we have included the 2010 Second Quarter totals for soft money raised. Party Funds Raised as of August 24, 2010 Expenditures as of August 24, 2010 Republicans $7,725,904 $6,127,030 Democrats $7,693,767 $5,713,407 4 This Report and the information it contains is confidential and only intended for the recipient.

Governor Crist’s (NPA) subsequent decision to not seek re-election and run for the U.S. Senate led to Attorney General Bill McCollum (R) leaving his position to be the Republican Nominee for Governor. Chief Financial Officer Alex Sink (D) also announced she would be vacating her position to be the Democratic Party gubernatorial candidate. Florida Commissioner of Agriculture and Consumer Services Charlie Bronson (R) is term-limited, which leaves his Cabinet seat open as well.
