Rick Scott has spent much of his public life presenting himself as an executive rather than an ordinary politician: the businessman who demands results, the governor who measures performance, the senator who attacks Washington excuses and the fiscal conservative who insists that people entrusted with taxpayer money be held accountable.

John Thune is not just a beneficiary of SLF; he is now a junior franchise-holder. His own allied Super PAC New Heights Action and its dark-money sister nonprofit raised $9 million last cycle—seeded by $1 million from Blackstone CEO Stephen Schwarzman and six-figure checks from Golub Capital. Much of that cash was steered into SLF-favored state PACs, proving Thune can “play ball” with the big club.
