Holding Politicians Accountable
2012’s biggest donor is gearing up for 2014:
“A political donation of $32,400 may seem like couch change for Sheldon Adelson, the casino executive with a $27.9 billion net worth who gave tens of millions of dollars to Republicans during the 2012 election.
“Yet $32,400 is the maximum annual amount an individual can donate to a national party committee like the National Republican Congressional Committee. House Republicans’ campaign arm surely was happy to bank that payment from Adelson and a matching amount from his wife, Miriam, on April 16.”
It seems fitting that Mitch McConnell would have his ‘2014 kickoff’ at a lobbyist fundraiser in Washington, D.C. – those are the people he spends the most time representing.
