Portland Trail Blazers owner Paul Allen donated $100,000 to the Protect the House committee — a group seeking to help the Republicans maintain control of the United States House of Representatives in the upcoming November election. Jim Brunner of the Seattle Times has the full story here.
Allen also donated to Democratic candidates, but those contributions have been significantly outpaced by contributions to the GOP.
FEC records show the largest chunk of Allen’s $100,000 was sent to the National Republican Campaign Committee (NRCC), which received $33,900. An additional $5,000 went to the Great America Committee, a PAC created by Vice President Mike Pence.
