Since the Supreme Court’s 2010 ruling in the Citizens United v. Federal Elections Commission case, 240 so-called Super PACs, or political action committees, have been registered with the FEC. Sixty of them alone have formed by Florida resident Josue Larose –  a mysterious self-described millionaire and economist. Even his intentions are unclear.

ProPublica reporter Kim Barker has been looking into this perplexing figure, and  talks more about Florida’s “Super PAC Man.”
