Legislator X's Contributions to PA House Democratic Campaign Commitee

Here is a chart highlighting the contributions made by Legislator X to the state Democratic Campaign Committee over the past nine years. It is a telling story of creating influence and power. But there appears to be more to this story from Grand Jury testimony regarding the House Democratic Caucus "Constituent Tracking System" and instructions to alter it for political campaign purposes. More on that in another post.

It is no secret that Legislator X wanted to ascend the ladder into a top Leadership post. It is hard to imagine the meteoric rise in only 12 years by this legislator considering the players in Harrisburg over the years. Maybe Bill DeWeese wasn't as unlucky as some may believe.

Legislator X on Friday also took full responsibility for decisions made on recipients of donations from Friends of Legislator X as well as from the House Democratic Campaign Committee, saying he was "proud of it."

As for the increase in Friends of Legislator X donations to the House Democratic Campaign Committee, Legislator X said the growth of his own "political clout" during the past 12 years is directly related to the amount of giving he has been able to accomplish.

He said it's necessary to donate to campaigns of people who will support his goals for his district and the state, such as job growth and health care access.

"In order to put forth these policies, political clout and the giving that you see are inextricably connected. And I'm going to do more of it," Legislator X said.
