Las Vegas casino mogul Sheldon Adelson is giving $1 million to a "super" political committee aimed at helping conservatives get elected in Florida.

Federal filings show the new Freedom PAC supports "strong conservative candidates" in the state, such as Senate contender Connie Mack, a Republican House member.

Adelson and his wife have given more than $20 million to GOP-oriented super PACs this election cycle. Most of that cash went to a super PAC working to get former House Speaker Newt Gingrich elected president.

The contribution was first reported Monday by the Sunlight Foundation.
