Where their votes land
Where the money came from
Receipts into Scott Franklin’s own campaign committee over the 2025–2026 election cycle, through July 29, 2026.
What these categories mean
- Small individual donors
- People whose giving stayed under $200 in total. The FEC does not require them to be named, so who they are is genuinely unknown — not merely unlisted.
- Large individual donors
- People whose giving passed $200, which is the point at which the campaign must report their name, employer and occupation.
- PACs
- Political action committees — corporate, trade, union and ideological. Money from an organisation rather than from a person.
- Transfers in
- Money moved in from another committee the candidate is authorised by, typically a joint fundraising committee.
- Other and unclassified
- The remainder once every category above is accounted for: federal funds, offsets, interest, and anything this site could not classify. It is a residual, not a kind of donor.
This is money the campaign itself received. It is not everything spent to win the seat. It excludes leadership PACs, and it excludes independent expenditures and other outside spending — money spent to elect or defeat a candidate by groups they may not lawfully coordinate with, which in a contested race can exceed everything shown above. It is not personal income or net worth, which are a separate filing altogether. Figures are as filed with the Federal Election Commission and are only as current as the last report, covering through July 29, 2026; a cycle still running is a partial count. Check this filing on fec.gov.
Personal finances
Separately from the campaign money above, Scott Franklin files a report about their own money: what they own, what they owe, what they earn outside Congress, and every stock trade they make. The law requires it, and every figure in it is a range rather than an amount — which is why the columns below are ranges too.
From Scott Franklin’s own financial disclosure, filed under the Ethics in Government Act. Every figure is the band the filer ticked.

Each arrow is the latest published figure against the newest one published before Scott Franklin took this seat, with the two periods named beside it. A rate moves in percentage points; every other indicator is shown as a share of where it started, and a dollar figure also by how much it moved after inflation, with both figures restated in the same year’s dollars. A row marked redrawn is one whose district lines moved between the two figures: they describe different ground, so that change belongs to the seat number rather than to a fixed piece of land. A row marked earliest had nothing published before they took the seat, so it is measured from the first figure there is — a window that starts inside their tenure rather than at the beginning of it. These are conditions in the district, not a record of the member. Nothing here is evidence that they caused any of it, or that a different representative would have produced different numbers.
Business establishments, 2024
How many places of business there are.

Annual average establishment count from the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages. An ESTABLISHMENT is a single physical location, so a chain with forty stores in a district is forty, and a firm with none of its own employees is none. Counts jobs covered by unemployment insurance, which is about 95% of civilian wage and salary employment. It excludes most self-employment, most farm work on small farms, and some religious organisations, so it is a smaller number than the payroll survey's and is not a substitute for it. Published for counties, not for congressional districts. A district's figure is built by moving each overlapping county's counts across the county-to-district crosswalk and dividing at the end -- never by averaging county rates. The coverage column gives the share of the district's residents living in counties that reported.
Who represented this district
Every member who held FL-18, grouped by the stretches over which these lines stayed the same. The groups break where the chart above breaks, because the members either side of a redraw represented different ground.

Party is the party held during that term, not the member’s party today. A stretch ends where the district was redrawn: the members either side of a break represented different ground, so the seat number is the only thing they have in common. Nothing here says a member caused any figure on this page to move. Source: unitedstates/congress-legislators.
