SURPRISE PARTY
Washingtons business luminaries normally shell out to more
right-leaning candidates than left donations to John McCain
and Mitt Romney overtook those to Barack Obama in 2008
and 2012. But so far this year, the Democrats and Hillary
Clinton have captured both attention and checks.

TOP SPENDERS
Now, lets go beyond
2016. We wanted the
biggest campaign donors
among our local business
elite for all three of the
last presidential elections,
in 2016, 2012 and 2008.
When we added up
all political donations
(candidate, PAC and
super PAC) from those
cycles (primary and
general elections), these
are the business leaders
who shelled out the most
and to whom.
