Top Contributing Oligarchs and Allies
Along with contributing directly to political campaigns and other efforts to support particular candidates, California’s top oligarchs and their allies make significant donations to other political action committees (PACs). These PACs often then use those funds to contribute to various political campaigns.
Listed below are the contributions received by Dave Cortese from PACs that have received major contributions ($100K+) from one or more of the Top 99 oligarchs and allies, as well as which individuals and/or organizations contributed to them.
Although these contributions were not made directly by the Top 99 to Dave Cortese, they reflect potential indirect financial ties that can also result in political influence.
