Contributors to the MBWWA PAC

Home

Following are the totals contributed to the Michigan Beer and Wine Wholesalers Association PAC in the period from 10/21/07-10/20/08 by employees of the named companies. The totals, however, are not complete. They were accumulated from records of contributions from individuals, and since the Campaign Finance Act only requires the employer to be named for contributions over $100, the totals do not include contributions for many employees who contributed $100 or less. The total of contributions from employees whose employer was not named was $24,007.45.

Total

$45,375

In all, there were 593 individual contributors to the MBWWA PAC. Listed below are those who contributed $100 or more. Although occupation and employer were reported for anyone who contributed over $100, I provide that information here only for those who contributed $5000 or more. I didn't know how to get the information other than by looking it up one by one, and there were only so many I was willing to do. Sorry.

By the way, if you are impressed by the amounts contributed, they are dwarfed by contributors to other PACs. Rich Robinson of the Michigan Campaign Finance Network reports that in the first half of 2009, Frederik Meijer has contributed $300,000 to the Meijer PAC.
