Kasich allies get $4 million cash infusion
An official with Kasich’s super PAC, New Day for America, said the donations had come from six financial backers, including San Francisco investor Greg Wendt and Abigail Wexner, the spouse of Ohio retail executive Les Wexner. The contributions have been received over the last two weeks.
WASHINGTON - New Albany billionaire Leslie H. Wexner cut a check for $500,000 to a major super-PAC supporting GOP presidential candidate Jeb Bush, according to documents filed with the Federal Election Commission on Friday. Wexner soon added $5,000 to a second super-PAC bolstering the former Florida governor. About three months after those February donations, Wexner’s wife, Abigail, gave $1 million to Ohio Gov. John Kasich’s super-PAC, New Day for America.
