Citadel founder Ken Griffin's super PAC, Stronger Safer Nation, has invested nearly $5 million in the Florida Senate race, primarily targeting Democratic candidate Angie Nixon, according to a report by Reuters. The independent expenditure-only committee, which was established in 2025 to support Republican Ashley Moody, has directed 87% of its spending, totaling $4.9 million, against Nixon over the past two weeks.
The super PAC raised approximately $12 million through June, with Griffin contributing $2.5 million in May. Moody, who was appointed to the US Senate in January 2025, is contesting the seat against Nixon. Griffin, known for being one of the largest individual political donors in the US, has contributed a total of $32.3 million to federal races this election cycle.
