Quite a few in the Tampa Bay area.

They do tend to be diversified meaning they also own bars, restaurants and craft breweries in addition to seats in local, area and regional politics. More than half are lawyers of some type. The latter, unfortunately, tend to represent the 'nasty side' of politicking from the school board to the House of Rep.

These politician / real estate agents maintain a great advantage in the 'networking' discipline.
