Citizens for a Better Southwest Florida is a private, not-for-profit committee comprised of a variety of individuals, business interests, and public officials established to educate and inform the electorate in Florida; promote economy in government spending; to promote efficiencies and ethics in operations of governmental agencies; to encourage the reduction or elimination of unnecessary government regulations; to encourage the protection and enhancement of individual constitutional liberties; to encourage the protection and development of the private enterprise system in Florida through the democratic system of government; and to promote a political climate conducive to a more effective and efficient government. To achieve these purposes, the Committee is empowered, subject to applicable state law, to solicit and accept voluntary contributions, to expend such contributions to further the support and election of candidates for elective public office in Florida whose views, voting records, or positions indicate a favorable orientation toward some or all of these purposes, and to do such other things consistent with the foregoing and with Florida law. The Committee is also empowered to make contributions, within limits approved by Florida law, to candidates and other committees supporting candidates or issues in the State of Florida.

The Committee was established in 2005 by Trudi Williams of Fort Myers. All of its contributions and expenditures are accessible by the public via this website.
