An individual is capped at giving $2,700 per campaign, giving donors the opportunity to contribute as much as $5,400 when taking both the primary and the general election into account.ADVERTISEMENT G.

Other lobbyists at the firm gave a total of $5,000 and its political action committee (PAC) donated an additional $4,950. Law and lobby firm Squire Patton Boggs also had a set of donations for Strange, with its PAC and multiple people at the firm giving a total of $14,500. Notable names include the firm’s global managing partner Ed Newberry, former Sen. Trent Lott (R-Miss.), and even former Sen. John Breaux (D-La.), who jointly run the Squire’s lobbying shop. Breaux only gave a $500 donation, and didn’t respond to an email from The Hill about the contribution. The others who gave $2,500 or more are: Raissa Downs, co-founder of Tarplin, Downs & Young; John Green of Crossroads Strategies; Ken Kies of Federal Policy Group; Conrad Lass of Ogilvy Government Relations; Capitol Counsel’s Denise Henry Morrisey; Aleix Jarvis at Fierce Government Relations and John Milne at mCapitol Management. Joanna McIntosh, the senior vice president of government relations at NCTA – The Internet & Television Association, also gave $2,500. Strange, President Trump’s favored candidate, served as Alabama’s attorney general before being appointed to fill the seat vacated by Attorney General Jeff SessionsJefferson (Jeff) Beauregard SessionsMcCabe, Rosenstein spar over Russia probe Rosenstein takes fire from Republicans in heated testimony Rosenstein defends Mueller appointment, role on surveillance warrants MORE. Moore previously served as Alabama’s Supreme Court chief. During the ’80s and ’90s, Strange worked as a lobbyist for Transocean Offshore Drilling Co. and Sonat, an Alabama-based energy company. Strange is now in the middle of a runoff race for the Senate seat, with many conservatives using his former Washington life against him. Conservative news outlet Breitbart, for example, has labeled him part of the “swamp.” In addition to lawyers, lobbyists and lobbying firms, 16 corporate PACs donated at least $6,000 to Strange. Those contributions added a total of $136,000 to his campaign account and spanned various industries.  Top donors included the PACs of Travelers Companies, Koch Industries, Comcast, Lockheed Martin Employees, Chevron Employees, Regions Financial Corporation and Murray Energy. These PACs — which each donated $7,500 or $10,000 — are capped at giving a maximum of $5,000 to a candidate per election. Strange has raised and spent upwards of $3 million more than Moore in this election, taking in $4.7 million compared to Moore’s $1.4 million.
