Hillary Clinton to Release the Names of Her Top Fund-Raisers
Via The New York Times
Hillary Rodman Clinton will disclose the names of the supporters raising money for her campaign, a spokesman confirmed on Monday.
The decision was communicated in recent days to her top fund-raisers, known as “bundlers” because they bundle together contributions from networks of friends and business associates. Because candidates can only accept a few thousand dollars from any one donor, campaigns rely on teams of hundreds of such volunteers to raise a substantial portion of the hundreds of millions of dollars now needed to sustain a competitive presidential bid.
But federal law does not require candidates to disclose the names of bundlers unless they are registered lobbyists. That means it impossible to know the names of the people whom candidates rely on the most to raise money — and what industries and interests those people represent — unless campaigns volunteer the information.
