FWD: New report shows GOP donor funding recall effort

 

Hi, it's Chesa Boudin.  Thanks to new disclosures, we now know that the top donor to the recall effort is billionaire Republican William Oberndorf. In 2021 alone, Oberndorf gave over $600,000 in cash to fund the recall effort, including more than $300,000 in stock. And In 2020, he gave $1.5 million to Mitch McConnell's Leadership PAC.  The recall committee has raised more than $2.5 million from fewer than 20 individual donors like Oberndorf. Compare that to our campaign, which has more than 1,500 individual contributors -- mostly under $50 at a time. With the election fast-approaching, I need your help. Will you consider donating $50 or more to our campaign right now to help me stop William Oberndorf and the other GOP mega-donors funding this recall effort? ----Begin forwarded message---- From: Team Chesa Boudin <zaki@chesaboudin.com> Subject: New report shows GOP donor funding recall effort  Sent on February 1, 2022 at 10:05 a.m. The shadowy PAC funding the Boudin recall has finally been forced to disclose its last six months of donations -- and it’s no surprise that their top donor is once again billionaire Republican William Oberndorf.
