Mr. Robinson is listed as an administrator
(chairman, registered agent of treasurer) of at

Florida. I include a listing of those committees
here, along with the fees earned by Eric
Robinson for his administration role(s). This
information demonstrates that administering
political committees is the equivalent of a full

Florida with similar books of PAC business.
But if we are looking at Sarasota and Manatee
counties, the leading administrator is Mr.
Robinson. Mr. Robinson also administers
PACS listed on the Sarasota County Supervisor
of Elections website. Those County PACs are
not listed here.
