Corcoran, who served as Rubio’s chief of staff when Rubio was speaker, once had his own firm, Corcoran Law Firm, P.A. In 2010, the year he was elected to the House, Corcoran made $95,000 at his firm. He subsequently landed a job at Broad & Cassel, which paid him $175,000 in 2015.
Negron won a seat in the state House in 2000. He earned $140,318 that year working for a law firm in his hometown of Stuart. In 2001 — his first full year as a state lawmaker — Negron’s salary at the firm dipped to $84,344. Later, he landed a job with a large statewide firm that does lobbying, and then moved on to another statewide firm with a legislative lobbying practice.
Negron earned $225,952 in 2015 from the Gunster law firm, which employed six lobbyists in Tallahassee last year who collected between $850,000 and $1.75 million in combined fees.
Moving to a large lobbying firm has not been quite as lucrative for Steube, who earned $80,064 in 2009 dividing his time between two smaller firms. Steube won a seat in the state House in 2010 and went to work for Becker Poliakoff a few years later. The firm paid him $102,500 in 2015.
