According to Federal Election Commission filings reviewed by SFGATE, San Francisco Giants principal owner Charles B. Johnson has once again broken his pledge to avoid donating to political candidates who engaged in the “destructive efforts to interrupt the certification of the 2020 Presidential Election.”
In December 2021, Johnson and his wife Ann each donated $5,800 (the maximum allowed amount of $2,900 for the 2022 primary and general elections) to Adam Laxalt, a Donald Trump-endorsed conservative and former Nevada attorney general who’s running for a U.S. Senate seat in the state.
Laxalt, the favorite to be the Republican nominee for a 2022 Senate race against Democratic incumbent Catherine Cortez Masto, is also endorsed by Donald Trump Jr.
