Many Valley Execs Write Checks To Whitman Campaign
Former eBay CEO Meg Whitman may be destined to lose her campaign to be the next governor of California–recent polls show she’s running considerably behind long-time California politician Jerry Brown–but she sure can’t blame a lack of support from Valley big wigs and corporate America in general. Indeed, a quick scan of state records on donors to the campaign finds a remarkably long list of Valley CEOs and other tech, corporate and venture luminaries who are supporting her run.
Brown has plenty of noteworthy contributors of his own, but they tilt decidedly toward the southern end of the state.
