Those bankers love Steve Stivers, a former bank lobbyist, in his attempt to run for Congress for Ohio's 15th district. Stivers has become the "golden child" for bankers, financial firms, and lobbyists. Stivers is their man to protect them from the awful consumers.
Plunderbund has this about the Stivers campaign money:
Much has been made of Steve Stivers recent FEC report, but not much has been written about where Stivers is getting his money. According to Stivers’ report 40% of his donations were from business PACs. In fairness, though, Kilroy accepted a similar ratio from mostly union PACs.
Stivers accepted so much special interest money, though, he likely violated federal campaign finance laws. My understanding is that a PAC can only donate $10,000 and individuals can only donate up to $4,800 to a congressional campaign in a single cycle. Another federal political candidate’s campaign may only donate up to $4,000 a cycle.
Stivers’ FEC reports in several instances in which his campaign accepted more than the maximum permitted donations......
Wow. Wouldn't that be interesting?
* Lakegop is offering some real trashy prizes for their phone bank workers:
"...The prizes are 1.a signed copy of Karl Roves’ book, 2.a Kasich hat, 3.a Portman hat...." It is sad that they have to bribe people to work for Republican candidates.
