Did some light reading today through the campaign finance sections of several GOP PACs to see which local businesses might be donating to them. I figured that like looking through local health inspector reports, there might be a few surprises. As they say, every dollar is a vote, so hopefully you can use this information to vote with your dollars.
Here’s our top direct donors to the Lane County Republican Central Committee since 2017
- Crisdental (Dental practice) $3800 in 2023
- Third Generation Painting $1000 in 2020
- Staton Companies (contractor) $1000 in 2020
- Builder’s Electric $500 in 2019
- Camp Creek Electric $500 in 2019
- Centennial Steakhouse $460 in 2020
- Northwest Arsenal $300 in 2019
- Papa’s Pizza $250 (in-kind contribution) in 2018
- Tomlin Benefit Planning (insurance agency) $250 in 2020
- KKNX and KEED Radio $200 in 2020
- Wynat’s Family Nutrition (health food store) $200 in 2019
*I’m only including names of companies consumers might actually recognize. There’s a number of other individuals, PACs and various LLCs you’ve probably never heard of which rank highly on these lists
Some other honorable mentions:
- Clairmont-Kincaid Apartments $500 to Friends of Christine Drazan
- Ray’s Towing $1000 to Friends of Christine Drazan
