According to State Representative Rand Fine’s own financial disclosure forms, he has a net-worth of over $20,000,000 earned from running casinos. He likes to frequently remind people of his net-worth on social media.
Tomorrow, he is having a fundraiser for his re-election campaign and his political action committee (PAC) under the name of Friends of Randy Fine. A quick look at the campaign finance reporting of his PAC shows that he seems to be living quite the life at the expense of his donors. Whether or not his donors are aware of what he actually spends their money on is another story.

It is also reported that some of the individuals he has listed on his most recent fundraising committee have asked to have their names removed, but he has yet to do so. It’s not clear if there will be ”entertainment” at the fundraiser he is holding at the Eau Gallie Yacht Club.
Since starting his PAC, he has spent over $697,000 of donor’s money. That is separate from his election campaign account. His actual election campaign account only lists a modest $504,000 in expenditures for a total spent of just over $1.2 million.
