Mega Rich Overwhelmingly Donated to Democrats in 2014
by Wynton Hall24 Dec 2014Washington, DC
Democrats bagged the bulk of big dollar donations in the
2014 midterm elections according to an analysis by the Associated Press.
Out of the $128 million spent by the top 10 individual
donors to outside groups, Democrats hauled in $91 million or 71% of donations.
“Among groups that funneled more than $100,000 to allies,
the top of the list tilted overwhelmingly toward Democrats—a group favoring the
GOP doesn’t appear on the list until No. 14,” reports the AP.
Democrats also enjoyed a 3-to-1 cash advantage when it came
to the 183 groups stroking checks of $100,000 or more. The liberal National
Education Association (NEA) topped the list of big
money donors at $22 million. The top ten list contained zero Republican-leaning
groups.
“They’re total hypocrites when it comes to this subject,”
said Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus. “They’ve made a
living off campaign talking points when, in reality, they’ve been raking in
more money from millionaire donors than Republicans for quite a while.”
Democrat hedge fund billionaire and global warming activist Tom Steyer blew at least $74 million
on the 2014 midterm elections, making him the cycle’s largest individual donor.
The libertarian Koch Brothers came
in tied for the 23rd spot of largest spenders, according to the Associated
Press.
