SEIU gave $1.2m to Democratic Party


The SEIU PAC gave $1.2 million to the N.C. Democratic Party in 2008.

Reviews of the campaign finance reports for the party's state committee show four major donations from the Service Employees International Union's political action committee:

Sept. 16: $250,000
Oct. 15: $250,000
Oct. 21: $600,000
Oct. 31: $50,000

The contributions are not listed among the SEIU's spending in the state, which includes only a $4,000 donation to the party on April 21.

As noted previously, the PAC spent $410,569 on state races in 2008. The donations to the state party brings its total state spending to $1.6 million.

Update: The SEIU also gave $250,000 to the Alliance for North Carolina, bringing its total spending to $1,810,569.

Re: SEIU gave $1.2m to Democratic Party

why are what you report as donations and red clay different?

There is something strange going on where candidates report getting money from the PAC but the PAC doesn't report getting it.

Stay on this it looks like something fishy is going on.
