Wagner’s campaign: recent contributions

I perused records on Contributions Received by Don Wagner’s Assembly campaign—referred to this morning by Rebel Girl. (See also here.) Here are some “highlights.”

Evidently, DON WAGNER loaned himself $100,000.

The COMMITTEE TO ELECT TOM FUENTES contributed $3,900.00. Presumably, this is money left over from Fuentes’ recent reelection campaign.

The FAMILY ACTION PAC—a local right-wing group—made contributions amounting to $3,000.

Some familiar OC right-wing regulars have contributed to Wagner’s campaign, including JIM RIGHEIMER, JAMES LACY, HUGH HEWITT, LEE LOWREY, SHAWN BLACK, HOWARD KLEIN, and JOHN EASTMAN.

I noticed that one MICHAEL CORFIELD contributed. He’s an attorney for the Young Men's Christian Association Of Orange County. I seem to recall that he was Raghu Mathur’s hapless attorney when Mathur sued me for reporting his violations of a students privacy rights.

Other familiar names among contributors:

GLEN ROQUEMORE, $1,000.00
WILLIAM HEWITT, $1,000.00
JOHN WILLIAMS, $500.00
RAGHU MATHUR, $500.00
JOHN WILLIAMS, $300.00
MARCIA MILCHIKER, $300.00
TOD BURNETT, $250.00
WILLIAM JAY, $250.00
ROBERT COSGROVE, $250.00
RONALD ELLISON, $100.00

Why don't the names of the people who attended his Balboa Bay Club fundraiser show up on this list?

It's my understanding that they gave $$$ just to be there.

Don't know, but I can tell you that several people mentioned here were at the fundraiser.

Yes - but OTHER people were there and they are not on the list. Were they just there for the free booze?

If donations are under are under $100 they do not have to list the doners on the county/state report--that's the law. A number of people gave and a number were from the two colleges, our district and ATEP.
