John Sununu funds breakdown
In 2002, John Sununu of New Hampshire received more than $50,000 from Sen. Ted Stevens of Alaska and Stevens’ strongest Alaska supporters, including VECO’s Bill Allen. The money flowed to Sununu’s Senate campaign from Stevens’ PAC, his soft money committee, and in a bundle of donations directly from Stevens loyalists.
Six other Republicans in hotly contested races for the Senate received similar support – but none got quite as much cash as Sununu. The Sununu Senate Campaign received the Alaska contributions on these dates (all for 2002):
