Did some light reading today through the campaign finance sections of several GOP PACs to see which local businesses might be donating to them. I figured that like looking through local health inspector reports, there might be a few surprises. As they say, every dollar is a vote, so hopefully you can use this information to vote with your dollars.

Here's our top direct donors to the Lane County Republican Central Committee since 2017

• Crisdental (Dental practice) $3800 in 2023
• Third Generation Painting $1000 in 2020
• Staton Companies (contractor) $1000 in 2020
• Builder's Electric $500 in 2019
• Camp Creek Electric $500 in 2019
• Centennial Steakhouse $460 in 2020
• Northwest Arsenal $300 in 2019
• Papa's Pizza $250 (in-kind contribution) in 2018
• Tomlin Benefit Planning (insurance agency) $250 in 2020
• KKNX and KEED Radio $200 in 2020
• Wynat's Family Nutrition (health food store) $200 in 2019

*I'm only including names of companies consumers might actually recognize. There's a number of other individuals, PACs and various LLCs you've probably never heard of which rank highly on these lists

Some other honorable mentions:

• Clairmont-Kincaid Apartments $500 to Friends of Christine Drazan
• Ray's Towing $1000 to Friends of Christine Drazan
