The King County Leadership Fund,which has been running ads opposed to King County Executive candidate Dow Constantine, has finally filed reports with the state Public Disclosure Commission revealing how much money they have to spend against Constantine, and where it’s coming from. However, they haven’t yet filed reports detailing how much they’ve spent—a requirement within 24 hours of the ads’ airing on TV.
Here’s the breakdown:
The Affordable Housing Council (the political arm of the Building Industry Alliance of Washington), gave $50,000 to the KCLF.
The Eastside Business Alliance, a conservative group affiliated with Bellevue developer and light-rail opponent Kemper Freeman, gave $27,000 to the KCLF and $800 to Constantine opponent Susan Hutchison.
Kemper Holdings LLC, Freeman’s development company, gave $25,000 to the KCLF and $800 to Hutchison.
The Calportland Company, which owns Glacier Northwest, whose gravel mine on Maury Island Constantine has long opposed, gave $20,000 to the KCLF.
Cell-phone magnate Bruce McCaw, whose company controls the controversial luxury home that houses Hutchison’s campaign headquarters, and his wife, Jolene, gave a total of $25,000 to the KCLF and $1,600 to Hutchison.
Developer Martin Selig gave $10,000 to the KCLF and $800 to Hutchison.
Quadrant Homes gave $5,000 to the KCLF.
