We’ve been following the last-minute, large-dollar campaign contributions today and just picked up this: a $25,000 check from Donald J. Trump to Republican gubernatorial nominee Bob McDonnell, the frontrunner in the contest for governor.
The contribution, reported today to the State Board of Election, is the latest in a string of high-dollar donations in the race (see the post below).
McDonnell spokesman Tucker Martin said today that McDonnell and Trump have spoken and that the real estate mogul “likes Bob’s commitment to job-creation and economic development.“
Trump does have some interest in the state—he owns Lowes Island Golf Club in Northern Virginia.
The developer previously gave $25,000 to Terry McAuliffe, the former Democratic National Committee chairman who lost in a three-way contest for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination to R. Creigh Deeds. Deeds today also picked up $22,011 from NARAL Pro-Choice America PAC, according to the State Board of Elections.
