You are wrong.
1. The Republican Governors Assn is tops at 20 mill
2. The Florida Republican party is 2nd at 10 million
3. A conservative donor is third at 7 million
4. Griffin is 4th at 5 million.
Guess you’re on Trumps payroll...right?
You got me………..on a technicality. I should have said that Griffin was DeSantis’ second-largest individual donor, giving $5 million. Did I mention that Griffin gave Biden’s 2020 inaugural committee $500,000? And the CTH (Sundance) article is titled: DeSantis Megadonor, Billionnaire head of Citadel Investments Ken Griffin Explains Why He Purchased Ron DeSantis for 2024 and What He Expects From His Investment
The Republican Governors Association top 20 donor list:
1 Blue Cross/Blue Shield $1,335,450
2 Centene Corp $1,152,500 (Medicaid Managed Care - it figures)
3 Chevron Corp $1,000,000
3 Marcus Foundation $1,000,000
The Marcus Foundation funds and partners with organizations that are making a difference in the delivery of community food resources or are expanding the understanding and implementation of sustainability.
The Foundation understands community food resources to encompass a web of issues related to hunger, including poverty, community development and economic policy.
Sustainability is both a principle and a practice that obliges us to carefully consider the consequences of today's actions on the future.
Their home page shows a storefront with signs saying, “Count Every Vote,” and “Every Vote Counts.” Republican? Not even close.
3 Elliott Management $1,000,000 (Hedge Funds. Yippee!)
6 United Health Services $975,000
7 Pfizer Inc $865,900 (It figures)
8 Franklin Mountain Management $756,771 (Big $, investments, etc.)
9 Oberndorf Enterprises $750,000 (Family-owned financial services company - no website. Guess they like to operate under the radar)
9 Mountaire Corp $750,000
9 Marathon Petroleum $750,000
12 Exxon Mobil $650,450
13 NextEra Energy $640,573 (Their website leads with: “A Real Plan for Real Zero. NextEra Energy has a plan to lead the decarbonization of America.” Capital investments/infrastructure. Their 2022 ESG report is linked on the main page.) Republican? Obviously….NO!)
14 Rai Services Co $580,000 (Tobacco products)
15 American Beverage Assn $560,000
16 Vertex Pharmaceuticals $540,000
17 Pharmaceutical Research & Manufacturers of America $525,000
18 Aetna Inc $510,000
19 Coca-Cola North America $503,841
20 Third Point LLC $500,000 (SEC-registered investment adviser)
20 Fresenius Medical Care $500,000
20 Molina Healthcare $500,000
20 Travelers Indemnity $500,000
20 Koch Industries $500,000
So would a Gov (or President) DeSantis tell NextEra Energy to get lost if they wanted to to build, I mean invest in, a location in Florida - or anywhere else - to continue their “decarbonization of America?” Not likely.
The RGA clearly accepts donations from outright liberal/Democrat interests, hedge fund/banking/investments, and of course Pfizer. So that’s politics, and that's the Uniparty. The point being of course, that with Donald Trump we don’t have to worry about any of that.
