DescriptionReporting from Fort Lauderdale, Fla. - In the last year, Josue Larose has mystified state and federal officials by forming 160 political action committees -- groups with names like the Florida Billionaires Political Committee and United States Former Vice Presidents Federal PAC.

The Deerfield Beach, Fla., man is a political unknown. But he seems to have set a record for organizational zeal. He has started so many political action committees that he's chairman of about a quarter of the state's 362 PACs, the Florida Division of Elections says.

Larose, 30, hopes his PACs one day will endorse a candidate he knows particularly well -- himself. A registered Republican, he is running for governor and for Democratic Rep. Robert Wexler's seat in Congress next year. He said he also intended to run for the U.S. Senate in 2012.

"I will make a good politician," he said. "I want to give everybody a voice."
