Weeks after CA's prison guards union successfully negotiated a new agreement awarding its workers $5,000 pandemic bonuses, it cuts a $1.75 million check to Gavin Newsom's anti-recall committee.
sacbee.com/news/politics-…
Factoring in the CCPOA's $1.75M, the $500,000 from SEIU-UHW, and $5K from Rep. Judy Chu, Gavin Newsom's anti-recall committee should be at around $36.2 million in total receipts.
More six-figure checks to Gavin Newsom's anti-recall committee--$250,000 from the American Federation of Teachers union and $200,000 from the CA Democratic Party.
Following yesterday's $250K from the American Federation of Teachers, the California Teachers Association follows suit in breaking the emergency glass and cuts a $1.8 million check to Gavin Newsom's anti-recall committee.

Four Republicans running in safe blue districts persuaded GOP donors to part with a combined $41.9 million in the 2020 cycle

District/Cand/Vote Share/$ Raised

#CA43 Collins 28.3% ($10.33M)
#MD07 Klacik 28.4% ($8.29M)
#NY14 Cummings 27.4% ($11.15M)
#MN05 Johnson 25.9% ($12.16M)
Collins' campaign racked up $68,000 in Delta Flights, $30,000 in Uber & Lyft rides, spent tens of thousands at an assortment of luxury hotels and restaurants across the country, and funneled hundreds of thousands in consulting fees to LLCs of questionable provenance.
Cummings' campaign against AOC in #NY14 seems to have existed primarily to ensure direct mail vendors maintained a steady supply of boats and vacation homes...

😂Lincoln Project got Democrat donors to part with $15,226,496 in the pre-election period ($81.9M to date!), with the ostensibly Republican group getting $550,000 from Chuck Schumer's Senate Majority PAC and $650,000 from dark money Democratic group Majority Forward.
After siphoning off $81.9M from Democratic donors this cycle with little to show for it, Lincoln Project's founder signals plan to continue to milk their audience for all they're worth for as long as humanly possible and files FEC paperwork for 'Lincoln24'

The Lincoln Project convinced Democratic donors to part with $39,384,397 in Q3. It burned a staggering $13 million on operating expenditures, made $23.9M of IEs (mostly routed into its founders firms), and ended with $13.2M on hand.
Among @ProjectLincoln's Q3 donors, $300,000 from liberal dark money group Sixteen Thirty Fund
Catering to #Resist donors has been a lucrative reversal of fortune for the Lincoln Project's founders. Reed Galen's Summit Strategic was paid $18.8M in Q3, Ron Steslow's TUSK Digital got $8.7M, Kurt Bardella's Endeavor Strategy got $153K

#NeverTrump @ProjectLincoln raised $16.8M in Q2, drawing several six and seven figure checks from a handful of Democratic megadonors, spent $4.6M on independent expenditures, $2.28M on operating expenditures, and ended the quarter with $10.8M on hand.
Improving from Q1 when Lincoln Project faced accusations of being a ScamPAC on account of 90% of their expenditures being paid out to Lincoln Project members and their firms, only ~86% of its operating expenditures/IEs went through Lincoln Project members and their firms in Q2.
That's not to say they pocketed it all...the FCC's political file database indicates at least $3M in ad buys were made and $1.36M in Facebook ads were purchased as of June 30th.
