Description
The cash is streaming in for Gov. Gavin Newsom's recall fight.
Netflix founder and co-CEO Reed Hastings is Newsom's largest donor as the governor fights off an impending recall challenge, with the businessman donating $3 million to the Democrat's campaign, according to Politico.
Donations to a candidate for office would normally be subject to campaign finance laws, but Newsom's effort to prevail in a recall is considered a ballot initiative rather than a candidacy, thus lifting the cap. Other high-profile donors who have cut six-figure checks to Newsom's cause include billionaires Stewart and Lynda Resnick, 49ers CEO Jed York, law firms, and labor unions.
