According to records obtained by the independent data research tool
Littlesis.org – maintained by the
Public Accountability Initiative – the owner of the LA Clippers embroiled in controversy has
only donated to Democratic candidates.
Between 1990 and 1992 Donald Sterling made a $2,000 donations to the former New Jersey Senator Bill Bradley, a $1000 donation to current Vermont Senator Patrick Leahy, as well as a $1000 donation to the recalled former governor of California Gray Davis.
